Flavour enthusiasts and ice-cream aficionados, join author Shane Hegarty for tips on writing the most side-splitting stories you can imagine, and a brainstorming session on impossible ice-cream flavours!

Limpet and his mum run an ice-cream shop where the flavours run wild: tomato and parsnip ice-cream, anyone?? With his mum on holiday for the weekend, Limpet and his dad are in charge…which means things are bound to go wrong. In his second hilarious adventure, he’s up against a mysterious thief and it’s up to him to save the day – and the ice-cream! 

Shane Hegarty used to work as a journalist (he was the editor of The Irish Times) and in radio and music. As a children’s author, he’s written the bestselling Darkmouth series, which was nominated for the Waterstones Prize, and is being developed into an animated film. He lives near Dublin with his wife and his toughest critics – his four children!
