A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

PRAISE IN THE USA FOR GRANDPA’S GREAT ESCAPE: “A realistic and touching relationship. Ample illustrations from the always splendid Ross will keep the pages in this plump volume turning. A Dahl-esque tale.” (Kirkus Reviews)

“While the irreverent wit will keep readers engaged, the surprising tenderness in the relationship between Jack and his ailing grandfather is what makes this book truly shine. A darkly humorous tale with a surprising amount of heart.” (School Library Journal)

“Walliams gives Grandpa-and [his] Spitfire-a grand send-off. A pleaser for fans of similar escapades engineered by the likes of Roald Dahl or Frank Cotrell-Boyce.” (ALA Booklist)

“Ross’s energetic drawings and some playful use of typography bring additional drama and humor to the story. The story’s comedy is nicely counterbalanced by the poignant bond between Jack and Grandpa.” (Publishers Weekly)

PRAISE IN THE USA FOR DEMON DENTIST: “A Brit-flavored romp that combines moments of intense terror and bracing courage with biting satire.” (Kirkus Reviews)

“A Dahl-esque mix of humor and horror that will appeal to fans of both.” (Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books)

“A goofy, gory, outlandish tale of deep evil and terrible tooth-rot-and sweetness of heart. Kids who enjoy humorous gross-out horror will definitely want to book an appointment of their own with the Demon Dentist.” (Wall Street Journal)

“Dahl-esque in the extreme...Frenetic humor for middle grade fans of the funny and fearsome.” (School Library Journal)

UK PRAISE FOR DAVID WALLIAMS: “No one has any business being as talented as David Walliams. He is the heir to Roald Dahl-and that’s saying a lot.” (The Spectator)

“Walliams’s books will become classics.” (The Guardian)

Présentation de l'éditeur :

But luckily, Tom’s time in the hospital will be anything but boring when he discovers that his fellow patients turn the awful ward into the most wondrous world after lights out

 Join the Midnight Gang as they make their wildest dreams come true!
