Huxley and Flapjack Series

(12 reviews)

Huxley and Flapjack written by Alan MacDonald and illustrated by Francesca Gambatesa is a charming and humorous series for readers aged 6+, ideal for those moving on from picture books. Each story is divided into manageable chapters with full colour illustrations on every page, making it particularly accessible for emerging readers.

The stories follow the quirky adventures of Huxley and his companion Flapjack, offering gentle humour and imaginative plots with wide appeal. Perfect for fans of Claude, Hotel Flamingo, Rabbit and Bear, and Isadora Moon, the series has been praised for its energy and readability.

Book 1, Race to the Rescue, was shortlisted for the Alligator’s Mouth Award 2024, with The Guardian describing it as “ideal for newly independent readers.”
