Description

Return to the forest where anything can happen. An unmissable new book in Nadia Shireen’s bestselling and wildly funny illustrated comedy adventure series, Grimwood!

Perfect for readers age 7+, and fans of Dog Man, Roald Dahl, David Walliams, Loki: A Bad God’s Guide to Being Good, Bunny vs Monkey and anyone who likes to laugh.

Sharon the Party Crow has lost her mojo! Three parties in one day have proved too much for Grimwood’s favourite raving resident, and now it’s up to Ted, Nancy, Willow, and the rest of the gang to help Sharon get her groove back. Teamwork, friendship and, most importantly, dance skills, will all be put to the test as the gang try to get the party started again!  

Fully illustrated throughout and full of heart, laughs and surprises, this is the must-read fourth title in the bestselling and fantastically anarchic Grimwood series.

‘Gloriously anarchic, properly funny and highly illustrated with dynamic black-and-white art, this is a quirky delight for children – and their parents, too.’  – The Bookseller

‘Dark, original and laugh-out-loud funny’ – The Times

‘This book made my face hurt! Relentlessly funny.’ – Rob Biddulph

As part of our Connection Counts campaign this November, bookseller Lydia would like to recommend Rainer Maria Rilke’s Letters to a Young Poet. 🌟

Rilke’s letters, written to a young military cadet looking to establish a career in poetry, are like spiritual sustenance. His advice on creative solitude is relevant to this day. His writing on loneliness manages to both validate the feeling and fortify against despair. This is a must read for anyone in need of some connection and consolation in a difficult age. 🌷

This month we’re highlighting the importance of connection with our ‘Connections Count’ campaign. HOBAF is all about connection, with our mission statement being to tackle social isolation and loneliness. Our bookworms will be highlighting books about connection all through November, as well as hosting our Coffee & Connections campaign to bring people together.

In Tawada's trilogy, Hiruko searches for someone who speaks her native language in a world where her country has ceased to exist. As her search brings new friends into her life, we examine what it means to belong, to feel at home, and whether our roots are truly all that ground us. Scattered All Over the Earth was released in 2023, and 2025 sees part two and three of the series released to UK audiences and available to pick up in-store now ⭐🌄
