"Asian Books Conglomerate is doing librarians, researchers and the general reader a great service by putting together a clearing house of the books published by small but nevertheless quality niche publishers scattered around the vast spans of Asia, from the Arab World in the west to pacific archipelagos in the east; from Siberia in the north to the nations in the Indian Ocean in the south..”
- Lance L. P. Gore, National University of Singapore

"..the Asian Books Conglomerate is a timely initiative that captures increasing academic and popular media attention paid to the important and significant but amorphous entity of 'Asia'. The initiative is likely to engage interested global audiences and their perspectives, encapsulating what 'Asia' means from a wide variety of perspectives.."
- Tai Wei Lim, Chinese University of Hong Kong

George has a part in the school play but he's got stage fright and no costume. How can the Goffins help? With favours from their relatives and a Punch and Judy show - that's the way to do it! George is so worried about having to go on stage, he can't sleep.

But Eave sees his predicament as a chance for a daring overnight visit to their estranged family: he can borrow Grandmuppy Cloister's judge's costume for the play. For their adventure to succeed, Eave has to pretend to be a French schoolboy, and Lofty a German brain surgeon - showing George that acting can be a lot of fun.
