Minnie’s mum is getting married to her teacher (eww!), which of course means she needs the perfect gift. But when searching the tunnels beneath the school for the ideal present, Minnie stumbles across ten-year-old Denys, Dennis’s Viking ancestor, who has been stuck living in the tunnels for centuries.
Denys longs to leave his dank prison, but the tunnels are the only thing stopping him from ageing. However, there is a treasure buried in Ireland that could break his curse, so it’s lucky that Minnie’s mum just so happens to be getting married there, isn’t it?
Join Minnie for an epic adventure to Ireland. Will they break the curse before Denys gets too old?
Perfect for kids whose parents have got divorced and are remarrying – or just want to read a mega-funny story!
"Great to see Minnie in her own adventure full of fun and feels – keep on Minxing Minnie, you're an icon for we Minxes everywhere!" – Maz Evans, author of Who Let the Gods Out?
“Full of comedy, capers and reassuring messages to children whose parents are splitting up, this marvellous Minnie mission is joyous fun from start to finish.” – Lancashire Evening Post
“Channelling all the mischief and mayhem of the Beano, this is jam-packed with jokes, cartoons and, well, beans, all sure to delight fans of the comic. As an added treat, there are comic-style instructions at the very back to encourage readers to produce their own boomic. Great fun for all.” – December Book of the Month in LoveReading4Kids
“Minnie is just as much fun as she always was and young readers will love her anarchic behaviour – either alone, or with cousin Dennis – but the story is not all fun and games. When Minnie realises that her parents’ relationship is in trouble, she faces a future that is not what she anticipated – something that many young readers will empathise with and which is tackled very well here. Added into the mix to balance this out though are plenty of fart gags and some brilliant illustrations from Laura Howell to bring the plot to life wonderfully well, creating a great read for Year 3 upwards that will be just as popular in Year 6.” – World’s Smallest Library
“It really is hilarious – and features the biggest prank in Bean-o history – but also balances sensitivity around parental separation. This particular story, along with Minnie’s aspirations around her artwork, adds another layer of depth to Minnie and her friends so bravo Beano for making these loveable characters more multi-faceted. A brilliant addition to the Beano world, you’ll love Minnie even more after this latest escapade!” – Check ‘Em Out Books
