Synopsis

'You can't have a party without music,' said Dad. 'You can't have a fire without smoke,' said Whacka. It went from bad to worse after that. A barbecue from hell. Spuds on the roof. A visit from the police. It was war, a fight to the finish between Dad and Whacka. And Chris was right in the middle of it. All because Dad vomited in the cabbage patch. It could only be a Paul Jennings story.

About this title

Reviews

It all starts when Dad and neighbor Whacka go to war over a barbecue ruined by Whacka's not being invited. Only Paul Jennings can concoct such an outrageous premise and make listeners believe it. Narrator Kate Hosking cleverly delivers insults like "ratbag" and "Don't tell your Mum, she wouldn't understand." Perfect sound effects, such as blood-curdling screams, a crowing rooster who announces a new day, and even a deliberately phony-sounding dog bark, add to the fun. Best of all is the awesome Australian accent, which Hosking carefully keeps understandable for American listeners. There's nothing more joyful than a Jennings/Hosking audiobook! S.G.B.
