Description

Return to Grimwood in the wildly funny fifth book in Nadia Shireen’s bestselling and brilliantly anarchic illustrated comedy-adventure series. Perfect for readers age 7 to 107, fans of Dog Man, Roald Dahl, Bunny vs Monkey and David Walliams, and anyone who loves to laugh.

‘Our finest children’s author’ – Richard Osman 

Grimwood needs a new mayor! Titus has finally decided he’s had enough, leaving behind big antlers to fill. With characters new and old throwing their hats into the ring, who has what it takes, who has a hidden agenda, and who is simply in it for the parties? The only people who can decide the fate of Grimwood are . . . the residents of Grimwood. Oh no. 

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

PRAISE FOR GRIMWOOD:

‘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

‘Pure genius!’ – Louie Stowell

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

‘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

Ethan's recommendation encourages us to unplug, and reconsider our connection to the world around us📚 📱

Released in paperback just this month, The Extinction of Experience is a passionately written reflection on the iron-fist integration, or domination, of digitally mediated communication in everyday life. Rosen pleas with us to consider the more profound impacts of these new communication styles on our ability to empathise, socialise, and understand each other’s true motives. 

This book has caused me to reflect on how digital communication has both facilitated connections my loved ones, but also disconnected me from the mundane, random moments of connection with strangers, instead prioritising algorithmically-fed content on my phone🤔😀.
