Goodreads Synopsis:

“I’m coming to give you what you deserve!” One fine day in the Evergreen Forest, Cyril Sneer gets a letter from his former business partner…

Yes, Karl Snarl is on his way to get even with Cyril! He’s mean. He’s greedy. He’s grumpy. And he has lovely handwriting (but that’s not strictly relevant). But all Sneer’s henchpigs know for sure is that Karl Snarl must be one seriously scary character, especially if Cyril’s terrified of him!

Time to man the defences! But will they be enough if Snarl huffs and puffs and blows their mansion down?

Oh, and Bert Raccoon intends to use a helicopter to deliver newspapers around the Evergreen Forest.

But surely nothing can go wrong with that, can it?

Review:

This is another great book in the Raccoons series. It was exciting and funny! I love the inclusion of QR codes that lead to videos about the series. There’s even a scene that you can watch as you read along with it. There’s also a fun crossword puzzle at the end of the book that I think kids will love!

Blast From the Past is a great book for young readers!

Thank you Candy Jar Books for sending me a copy of this book!
