And then there were two!

Swapna HaddowThe Terrible Trio

The second book in The Terrible Trio series is landing in bookshops and libraries around the world over the next couple of weeks, starting with the UK!

Zeb the zebra, Barry the lemur and Margarine the penguin have the WORST superpowers in the world, and Zeb is sure life can’t get any worse. But when he turns up for his shift at the Superhero Café and finds it closed, he’s in for a shock!

Margarine has lost her superpower of making mac ‘n’ cheese and that’s just as Zeb has promised an angry hungry lion and his whole pride a LOT of mac ‘n’ cheese. As The Terrible Trio scramble to fix the problem, they soon realise they may be on the menu themselves!

Can Margarine figure out a way to get her powers back and keep the lion happy?

Well, you’ll have to read the book to find out! Illustrated by Minky Stapleton throughout, I’m supremely proud to say that the The Terrible Trio series is now translated into over fifteen languages and has held the number one spot in New Zealand for twelve weeks!

To celebrate the launch of The Terrible Trio: The Day the Mac ‘n’ Cheese Ran Out, I teamed up with Scholastic Book Club Live to talk to heaps of schools around the UK about the second book in the series and to run a workshop on creating story plans and coming up with story ideas.

And we’ve had awesome reviews of the book already! Check out Mrs Sydney’s Famous World’s Smallest Library review and this STARRED review in ALA’s Booklist:

I hope you all love The Day the Mac ‘n’ Cheese Ran Out as much as I do. I had an absolute blast writing this one and can’t wait to introduce you to more adventures from The Terrible Trio!
