Book Description
Suspenseful, surprising, and laugh-out-loud funny—Hamish X is back!
When we last saw Hamish X, he had been captured once more by the evil Grey Agents of the ODA (Orphan Disposal Agency), and the Wind City Orphanage had been destroyed. But with Mimi’s strength and Parveen’s ingenuity, Hamish X and all their Wind City friends are rescued. Now, new and surprising adventures are in store for everyone, when they make their escape to ... Switzerland!
Deep within the Alps, the world’s lost children have found safe haven in a hidden world, ruled over by the frail but kindly young King Liam, with the able assistance of his child guards and trained raccoons. It is here, in the Hollow Mountain, where the mysteries of Hamish X, his boots, and his past will begin to unfold—if the Grey Agents don’t get to him first!

A fast-paced and inventive battle between good and bad,
By John Burns "Author of Runnerland, a novel for... (Vancouver, BC Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Hamish X And The Hollow Mountain (Hardcover)
Hamish X, mysterious and powerful orphan with his otherworldly boots and fearless demeanour, is back for a second adventure, this time leading his cluster of friends to the remote Kingdom of Switzerland. The evil Mr. Candy and Mr. Sweet are back as well, and it's touch and go who will triumph in this fast-paced and inventive battle between good (kids) and bad (cyborgs). Seán Cullen, a Toronto comedian, has found his legs with Hollow Mountain. Some of the plot lost me, though, which makes me worry for younger readers. But the notion of a monarchy hidden inside the Alps, run by a boy-king served by robotic raccoons, is so pleasing that I'm happy to strap in for the ride.

Bloody Hilarious,
By
This review is from: Hamish X And The Hollow Mountain (Hardcover)
Our whole family loved this book and it's prequel Hamish X and The Cheese Pirates. Both books are hilarious and my husband and I loved the books I think even more than the kids. If you wish to discover first if Sean Cullen's brand of humour is your type of thing then I suggest doing a UTube search for him and his Food of Your Choice bits. If you laugh buy these books!
