Description

The book is also heavily illustrated and I can only say that I am an absolute fan of them. Their style just fitted with this spy + humour book perfectly.

Can our heroes escape? Can peace be made in the United Woodlands? Will they get afternoon tea and biscuits? Does Agent Weasel have a clue what’s going on? Strange things are happening in the United Woodlands. Rabbit warrens have been peppered with itching powder. Squirrels' nuts are missing. Even Badger's bottom has been shaved! All the clues point to the Fiendish Fox Gang. The inhabitants of United Woodlands are being terrorised and all evidence and paws point to the Fiendish Fox Gang (the FFG for short). In a secret hideout deep underground lives the infamous leader of the gang and she plans on ruining the autumn fair and squashing everyone and everything that’s there!Themes of friendship and teamwork are a feature of the read. Agent Weasel and Doorkins have a lovely friendship, they are always there for each other…just. And whilst Agent Weasel might not be the brightest spy he always has ideas of one sort or another and with the other animals always there to help out there is a chance that the plans may be a success. Meet Agent Weasel: woodland super-spy. Can he save the Big Freeze winter games from disaster? And will there be enough marshmallows for another hot chocolate? Perfect for listening alone or sharing together, for fans of The Bolds and Toto the Ninja Cat. Even though creating your own book can be much harder – illustrating for other writers is a great responsibility. You really want to achieve their vision, which can certainly make for a more drawn out process – if you’ll pardon the pun. But there is nothing more exciting than that first read of a new text. Characters and scenes immediately start popping into in my head. I’ll usually begin sketching away on the A4 printout – before I’ve even read to the end. From the first sketch to final artwork can be an immensely rewarding business. There’s a full spectrum of baddies in Agent Weasel – from the hapless foxes; Vic and Viv, to the diva-like criminal mastermind Vixen Von Fluff. What makes a good baddie and how did you incorporate that into your writing and illustration? It’s time to call Agent Weasel, woodland super-spy. But before they can even finish their stakeout picnic, Weasel and his trusty dormouse friend Doorkins are captured by the villainous Vixen von Fluff.

If you go down to the woods today you’re in for a terrible surprise…you’ll find badgers without furry bottoms, rabbits with itchy problems, voles without holes and some very naughty foxes. What was your creative process like for creating your own book and how did it compare with working on other writers’ work? It's time to call Agent Weasel, woodland super-spy. Can he and his trusty dormouse friend Doorkins find out more about the sleek winter ermine who are winning all the golden acorns? Will Weasel be able to take part in the competition without falling over his own feet? Will there be enough marshmallows and sprinkles for another hot chocolate? Who knows? I have to say that at times it felt more like a book 2 or 3 in a series. But from what I can find this is truly book 1. But at other times, confusingly, I was wondering why everyone was so hyped about this guy. I mean he busts his disguise/hideout in just mere minutes after the foxes appear, he cannot battle unless he gets his weasel dance activated, he gets captured easily. You would think a top agent would have more brains and more understanding of how to do things. He was an idiot at times..Meet Agent Weasel: woodland super-spy. Can he save the Big Freeze winter games from disaster? And will there be enough marshmallows for another hot chocolate?

Strange things are happening in the United Woodlands. Rabbit warrens have been peppered with itching powder. Squirrels’ nuts are missing. Even Badger’s bottom has been shaved! All the clues point to the Fiendish Fox Gang.It's amazing. A lovely book, very adventurous. I recommend it for everyone. My favourite bit was the punishment of a thousand poops! JP What a very good question. I think writing allows more freedom to play around with the time line – particularly if there is action involved. And there is certainly a lot of that in Agent Weasel. My main aim was to keep the momentum going and the descriptive elements to a minimum in these stories. So, a well-placed illustration really helped with that.

It's time to call Agent Weasel, woodland super-spy. Can he and his trusty dormouse friend Doorkins find out the secrets of Blanche, their mysterious team-mate? Will Weasel be able to compete for a golden fir cone without falling over his own feet? Will there be enough marshmallows and sprinkles for another hot chocolate? Who knows? It's the opening night of the Winter Whopper Games, but all is not well in the United Woodlands. Top animal athletes are disappearing, and there are whispers of a silent snow beast on the prowl. It’s the opening night of the Winter Whopper Games, but all is not well in the United Woodlands. Top animal athletes are disappearing, and there are whispers of a silent snow beast on the prowl. Then there are various other characters. Like H the Hedgehog. The stag beetles. Agent Mole. Oh, and we cannot forget Muriel the moth! I never thought I would see a moth being used as a messenger. But I did love this weasel. I loved that he was a weasel, because while I can name various foxes, cats, mice, and other animals, I just cannot think of a book with a weasel as the main lead. I loved that he is a superspy and that he gets cases like this. Exciting cases. Oh, and I love that, despite blundering through things, he still does his best and has some brilliant ideas (like when they found out why Von Fluff was so angry he had a magnificent plan to make her happy again, which is wonderful). And come on, his dancing was pretty hypnotising and awesome. And deadly... I guess. :PThis book is all about the Woodlands Intelligence community (WI6)trying to stop The Robber King. Who is The Robber King? You'll have to read the book and find out! My favourite character was Dorkins Dormouse-he is small and smart. Amazing illustrations and great creativity. HM Meet Agent Weasel: woodland super-spy. Can he foil the dastardly Fiendish Fox Gang once and for all? And will he still be home in time for tea and biscuits? Perfect for reading alone or sharing together, for fans of The Bolds and Mr Gum. For instance, when the animals first see the Fox Gangs fiendish control room – a large detailed illustration allowed me to minimise the description. And this was definitely one instance where the sketch came before the writing. A large, complexed space, like the fox den, can be difficult to get your head around. Particularly when the action moves through it and the geography needs to be right. Creating that scene, was particularly enjoyable. There had to be a working balance between the writing and the sketches. I needed to be sure of it before Weasel could crash dramatically through the space. Eventually landing at the feet of the Fiendish Fox Gangs infamous leader. I am so happy with Vic and Viv and I hope that they will get a prominent role in the next books because I just love the twins(? I am thinking they are giving their build/looks/names).
