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.

The blend of playful fear and exuberant humor lands with a satisfying, heartfelt finish that lingers long after the last page.
