Across all six adventures, Mr. and Mrs. Bold and their mischievous children navigate school runs, neighborhood gossip, eco-friendly experiments, unexpected houseguests, and holidays abroad, all while trying to keep their hyena secret under wraps. Packed with giggly wordplay, warm family moments, and a gentle message about celebrating what makes you different, this set is perfect for confident young readers and brilliant for reading aloud together at bedtime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Books\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nJulian Clary's Bolds series turns an ordinary suburban street into the setting for one of the funniest family sagas in children's fiction, built around a simple, brilliant joke: what if a family of hyenas moved in next door and nobody noticed? Across six books, readers watch the Bold family settle into human life with hilarious near-misses, from Mr. Bold's office job to Mrs. Bold's dinner parties, all narrated with Clary's cheeky wit. The series follows a loose chronology as the Bolds welcome an ever-growing, endearingly odd household, take on green living, host a visit from a formidable relative, get themselves into scrapes, and eventually pack their bags for a chaotic family holiday. Each story stands alone but rewards readers who follow the family from book to book, watching relationships deepen and the Bolds' world expand to include new friends, both human and animal. Underneath the laughs sits a genuinely warm message: families come in every shape imaginable, and being different is worth celebrating rather than hiding. Young readers pick up gentle lessons about honesty, loyalty, and kindness without ever feeling lectured, because the humor always comes first. Short chapters and plenty of comic set-pieces make these books approachable for newly confident readers, while adults reading aloud will catch extra layers of humor in Clary's sly asides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete six-book paperback collection of Julian Clary's much-loved Bolds series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLaugh-out-loud family humor balanced with warm, relatable characters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShort chapters and playful storytelling ideal for newly confident readers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGentle themes of kindness, individuality, and family loyalty woven through every book\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat for read-aloud time, classroom libraries, or independent reading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA fun gift idea for birthdays, holidays, or back-to-school reading lists\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook-by-Book Guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Bolds — Introduces Mr. and Mrs. Bold, hyenas hiding in plain sight as an ordinary family in suburban Teddington.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Bolds Go Green — The family tries eco-friendly living, with well-meaning schemes leading to comic chaos.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Bolds to the Rescue — The Bolds welcome a growing menagerie of animal friends, including a sheep, a poodle, and a crocodile.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Bolds Go Wild — A visit from a formidable relative shakes up the family's carefully kept routines.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Bolds in Trouble — The Bolds land in one scrape after another as they try to keep their secret safe.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Bolds on Holiday — The family packs their bags for a getaway that tests their disguise like never before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nJulian Clary is a British comedian, actor, and author known for his sharp wit and warm sense of humor, both on stage and on the page.
