About the Books
Each title in this collection stands on its own, but together they showcase why David Walliams has become one of the most popular voices in children's fiction today. In Bad Dad, a boy named Frank is convinced his father isn't really the reckless criminal everyone believes him to be, and sets off on a wild journey involving car chases, a smuggling plot, and a father-son bond put to the test. Awful Auntie follows young Stella Saxby, the rightful heir to her family's grand estate, as she squares off against her terrifying Aunt Alberta and a giant owl determined to steal her inheritance, aided by a ghostly ally only she can see. Grandpa's Great Escape tells the tender story of a boy named Jack and his grandfather, a former RAF pilot, as they team up for a daring escape from a care home before Grandpa can be sent somewhere he dreads. Across all three stories, Walliams balances slapstick comedy with genuine emotional stakes, tackling themes like family loyalty, courage, and standing up to bullies in ways that resonate with young readers. Illustrated throughout, each book is fast-paced and chapter-driven, making them excellent choices for reluctant readers as well as kids who already love to read. Bundled together, this set offers a well-rounded introduction to one of the UK's most popular children's authors, now beloved by American readers as well.
