About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their child is navigating the everyday disagreements that come with close friendships, like sharing toys or wanting to do different things. Freaky Funfair follows two lovable but bickering troll friends, Marlon and Mark, through three silly adventures: a trip to an amusement park, a visit to a museum, and a fight over a brand-new toy car. Each story uses gentle humor to explore themes of loyalty, teamwork, and the importance of compromise. This early chapter book is perfect for newly independent readers (ages 6 to 9) who will find the trolls' squabbles relatable and their eventual resolutions reassuring, offering a lighthearted way to discuss how friends can work through their problems.
