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!

‘Our finest children’s author’ – Richard Osman 

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.

PRAISE FOR GRIMWOOD:

‘Grimwood is where I want to be. A carnival of crazed confused comical critters that is more real than real life. Lots of things make me laugh but Grimwood makes me laugh out loudest.’ – Frank Cottrell-Boyce

‘Wind in the Willows (with added wind) for a new, wilder generation’ - The Times

‘Ted and Nancy are my favourite funny foxes EVER.’ – Liz Pichon, author of Tom Gates

‘I CACKLED ALOUD on practically every page. Comic gold, tinged with such tenderness.’ – Kiran Millwood Hargrave
 
‘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

‘Like Watership Down, but funny. You’ll laugh hysterically on every page.’ – Caitlin Moran

‘Fantastic.’ – Lauren Laverne

‘Pure genius!’ – Louie Stowell

‘Made us laugh out loud.’ – Jim Smith, author of Barry Loser

‘You’re in for a treat!’ – Selom Sunu, illustrator of Look Both Ways

‘Utterly HILARIOUS’ – Sophy Henn, author-illustrator of Pizazz
 
‘Every page of the book zings with invention and joie de vivre‘ - The Financial Times

Laura's recommendation comes just in time for the cinema release of Project Hail Mary🚀
"I initially picked up Project Hail Mary on a whim in preparation for the film release, with sci-fi not being my preferred genre. However, this book surpassed all of my expectations in the best way possible. It was fun, emotional and intellectually stimulating at the same time! It really surprised me how much I loved this story, and how much I enjoyed the buddy comedy element through Ryland and Rocky’s friendship! The sci-fi elements were easy to follow for someone who feels out of their depth when it comes to science."
