Benny and Babe

Written by Eoin Colfer

Narrated by Tom Farrelly

'Benny glowered at her. Babe by name, but most certainly not by nature'

A summer in the Irish countryside is not Benny Shaw's idea of a good time. Especially since the people of Duncade don't appreciate him as the sporting prodigy that he is. All he gets is teasing, which is a favourite pastime of annoying tomboy Babe Meara.

Streetwise Benny has met his match and he doesn't know the rules of this particular game. And when Babe turns from a real pain into a real girl, the trouble well and truly begins.

Reviews for Benny and Babe

[cheryl_in_cc_nv · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

4.5 stars. I laughed loudly so many times that my 14 yo son pressed me to finish so he could have a turn. But the thing about Colfer is, his books have excitement, character development, and even a little emotional stuff too. This had all of the above in spades.
