Product Description
Eddie has a bad habit of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Otherwise, he never would have gotten mixed up with the Reservoir Pups, the scrappy gang of boys who rule the streets in his new town. And he definitely wouldn?t have agreed to their initiation mission: to break into the hospital his mom works at. It?s just Eddie?s luck that he stumbles upon some twisted baby-snatchers on the way. And just when it seems like life can?t get any worse, he bumps into the leader of the Andytown Albinos, the most fearsome gang of all. . . .
?Fast, fabulous fun . . . [an] excellent comic adventure. I loved the carefree, sheer enthusiasm of the writing and laughed aloud throughout. I?m delighted to report that it?s the first of a trilogy. Can?t wait for the next!??The Bookseller (UK)

 Great Book November 28, 2007
This book should appeal to kids who like the Series of Unfortunate Events. It's quite different, but has the same feeling of adventurous kids handling powerfully dangerous things in spite of some evil adults. It's way fun to read.

Molly's Reviews
The Review
Irish writer Colin Bateman presents an exhilarative, spine tingling work filled with all the zestful agitation, whimsical cast of characters and explosive tension necessary to hold the target audience absorbed from beginning paragraph to ending lines. Eddie & the Gang with No Name: Running with the Reservoir Pups is a well-written publication filled with generously drawn players and a cleverly interwoven, precarious story line. The setting for the book is England, and some of the language used will have an English flavor which kids will find intriguing.
Enjoyed the read, happy to recommend.
