About the Book Just when readers thought it was safe to return to their bookshelves, David Walliams unleashes ten more horrendously hilarious children into the world. From ten-year-old Hank, whose relentless pranks torment his poor, long-suffering family, to Tandy, notorious for her titanic tantrums, each story serves up outrageous mischief, sharp comic timing, and a gentle cautionary sting in the tail. Every tale is illustrated in vivid, gruesome colour by Tony Ross, whose expressive artwork brings each dreadful child vividly to life on the page. Told in Walliams' signature style, the short, punchy chapters are perfectly pitched for independent readers who enjoy gross-out humour and slapstick comedy, while also working brilliantly as read-aloud stories for family bedtime or classroom sessions.
