Angie, Ollie, Simona, Mario and Eric are five fantastic friends, each of whom has an unusual ability. Disaster strikes on a day out to the countryside but, working together and combining their individual powers, the Fantastic Five save the day. Teem­ing with Quentin Blake’s characteristic sense of fun and his exuberant illustrations, THE FIVE OF USis also a powerful, though subtle, reminder that the world is a better place when we focus on what we can do, rather than on what we can’t.
