Books Included in This Collection:
Bad Dad
Bad Dad kicks off with a fast and furious pursuit of adventure between a father and son. Their mission-tested bond is tested by obstacles that mix danger with warmth, delivering strong moments of courage and loyalty. Walliams’s signature humor and heart shine through as the pair navigate twists, keeping readers smiling, cheering, and invested until the final, satisfying payoff.
The Midnight Gang
The Midnight Gang whisks Tom into a moonlit world of mischief and friendship after a head injury lands him in a hospital. The story blends whimsy with courage and kindness, celebrating loyalty and the power of second chances. Quick-witted dialogue and imaginative scenes keep pages turning as new friends prove that help can come from the most unexpected places.
Grandpa’s Great Escape
This wartime adventure pairs a brave grandson with his grandfather, a WWII flying ace, in a plan to outwit a confining care home. The tale honors intergenerational bonds, resilience, and clever teamwork, weaving historical flavor with contemporary warmth. It invites readers to cheer for ingenuity, courage, and the enduring strength of family connections that spark unforgettable escapades.
Awful Auntie
In a Gothic-comic twist, Stella Saxby faces scheming relatives and a nearly supernatural guardian owl. Walliams crafts a lively heroine, a cascade of twists, and a buoyant sense of mischief that keeps readers guessing. The blend of playful fear and exuberant humor lands with a satisfying, heartfelt finish that lingers long after the last page.
Demon Dentist
Demon Dentist plunges readers into a town shadowed by eerie nocturnal happenings and teeth-twisting mysteries. A determined young narrator and loyal friends peel back layers of suspense to uncover truth, bravery, and family bonds. The story balances spooky thrills with warmth and humor, delivering a memorable blend of tension and heart.
Ratburger
Ratburger follows Zoe, a bright-hearted girl navigating school, home, and a very troublesome pet rat. Walliams pairs fast-paced capers with poignant moments of friendship and perseverance. The result is a lively, emotionally rich adventure that champions kindness, resilience, and the everyday courage it takes to stand up for what matters.
Gangsta Granny
Ben’s ordinary world is upended when he discovers that his grandma hides a remarkable, if unconventional, secret. The caper is funny, warm, and surprisingly moving as intergenerational trust blossoms into courage and shared joy. This tale celebrates family, imagination, and the delight of seeing the extraordinary in the everyday.
Billionaire Boy
Joe’s imaginative, billion-pound reality invites readers to question wealth versus genuine happiness. The story’s humour lands with sharp wit while its heart resonates through friendships, family, and the longing to belong. It’s a thoughtful, entertaining exploration of identity and values framed by a wildly entertaining premise.
Mr Stink
Mr Stink pairs a stray with unlikely neighbors in a story about inclusion, community, and standing up for what’s right. Walliams threads gentle satire with warmth, inviting readers to look beyond appearances and discover real friendship. The humor lands lightly, while the message stays with you long after the last joke lands.
The Boy in the Dress
Dennis’s world of football, fashion, and fearless self-expression becomes a celebration of authenticity.
