Shane Hegarty: The Shop of Impossible Ice Creams

Limpet’s family have just moved to the seaside town of Splottpool. His Mum wants to open an ice-cream shop and fill it with her creative new flavours (carrot and garlic, chicken and cheese, and not forgetting the tuna and mushroom!) – but Limpet is not too sure… He likes a nice, safe life. His favourite ice-cream flavour is vanilla. But when wicked Mr Fluffy arrives with his Mega Emporium of Amazing and Spectacular Ice Creams, Limpet knows he’s got to fight back. Together with his sister, new best friend and pet chicken, Limpet sets out to find the magic ingredients which could solve all his worries, if only he can get the recipe just right…

Illustrated throughout with fabulous black and white illustrations by Jeff Crowther and written by Shane Hegarty, The Shop of Impossible Ice Creams is pure wish-fulfilment. A must-read for the Summer holidays and perfect story for anyone who likes jokes, ice cream, adventure, magic, silliness, more ice cream, chickens, cliffhangers, ninja fairies and even more ice cream!
