Fans of Bunny vs Monkey or InvestiGATORS will love this hilarious full-colour graphic novel starring time-travelling penguins Pablo and Splash, part of a British Book Award-shortlisted series that finds our heroes battling gladiators in Ancient Rome. ‘You’ll laugh your flippers off!’ says John Patrick Green, creator of InvestiGATORS, and the Guardian calls it ‘Irresistibly funny’. When penguin pal Benji refuses to believe they’ve really travelled through time, Pablo and Splash set out to prove it. Their journey takes them to Ancient Rome, where they hope to bring back a centurion helmet as evidence of their adventure – but when they cross paths with an emperor who has a passion for collecting exotic birds, only some very quick thinking, and an emergency bit of time travel, can save them from the fate awaiting them in the Colosseum! Young readers agree: ‘Pablo and Splash are hilarious. I love this book!’ – Oscar, age 7, while Noah, age 8, adds, ‘I wish I could time travel with Pablo and Splash. They make me laugh so much’ The Irish Times, reviewing Pablo and Splash, called it ‘Gripping and enjoyable … should be recommended whatever the age of the reader. A really fun, enjoyable read. 10/10’
