Book Review

Hairbrain Saves the Ocean
by Danny Katz, Mitch Vane (illus.)

by Angela Crocombe, Apr 2025

The author and illustrator of the popular Little Lunch series have two new books for junior readers that will have them laughing out loud. The first, written in a childish font, complete with spelling mistakes crossed out, is written by Hairbrain (not really their name but what everyone calls them) and describes their amazing invention to save the ocean. When the family goes on school holidays to the beach and end up with plastic rubbish all over them, genius Hairbrain comes up with a machine that can clean up the ocean. But first Hairbrain and little sister Zammy, who is filming the epic invention for posterity, have to get the machine to the beach – and there seem to be a few difficulties.

Who will rescue Hairbrain when it all goes wrong? This is hilarious fun for readers aged 5+, with the second book, Dog People, Ugh!, also available now.
