Overview
Meet Dirty Bertie, the naughtiest, funniest boy in the neighborhood, in this bumper 20-book paperback collection covering Series 2 and Series 3 (Books 11-30). Each short, illustrated story follows Bertie through a fresh scrape, from toothy troubles to disco disasters, pirate schemes to a run-in with a grumpy monster. Written by Alan MacDonald and brought to life with David Roberts's expressive black-and-white illustrations, these easy-to-read chapter books are perfect for kids building reading confidence. Ideal for home libraries, classroom shelves, or a rainy-day binge, this set delivers twenty complete, laugh-out-loud adventures in one great-value bundle.

About the Books
The Dirty Bertie Series 2 and Series 3 Collection gathers twenty of Bertie's most mischievous outings into a single paperback set spanning Books 11 through 30. Bertie is a scruffy, lovable troublemaker whose good intentions almost always go sideways, whether he's dodging a dentist visit in TOOTHY, squaring off against uninvited rodents in RATS, or turning a simple school disco into total pandemonium in Disco. Other stories send him chasing fame, facing down a monster, dressing up as a mascot, or dreaming of pirate treasure, while SNOW, CRACKERS, and Jackpot lean into festive and high-stakes fun. Each title is a stand-alone story told across short, punchy chapters, so young readers can dip in and out without losing the thread. Alan MacDonald's brisk, comic writing style keeps the pace lively, and David Roberts's energetic illustrations appear throughout, reinforcing the humor and helping less-confident readers follow the action on every page. The recurring cast of family, friends, and unlucky teachers gives the whole collection a comforting familiarity, even as each book's plot goes somewhere new and delightfully absurd. Because every story wraps up its own scrape within a slim page count, the set works well for independent reading practice, bedtime read-alouds, or a steady supply of books for a reluctant reader who needs a laugh to stay hooked. Collected together, these twenty stories offer excellent value and hours of entertainment, making this bundle a natural pick for parents, teachers, and gift-givers looking to fill a shelf with dependable, kid-approved humor.
