"Skullduggery, thievery and anarchic humour in a heavily illustrated tale for fans of Mr Gum."
- Fiona Noble, The Bookseller
"With its zany plot, an abundance of the fanciful imagery and word play that young readers love, this is unadulterated fun!"
- Andrea Reece, Lovereading4Kids
"Both ludicrous and funny, join Freddie on the greediest, goldest and fishiest escapade of the summer."

"Packed in silliness, sleuthiness and non-stop action... Heavily spangled throughout with the brilliant inky scribbly illustrations of Chris Mould, this is the start of a series featuring the best rotter I’ve met in ages. Move over Twits! Step aside Mr. Gum! Spangles is here and he’s one in a 'bullion'!"
- Leilah Skelton, Waterstones
"A totally silly adventure"
