Overview
The Terrific Ten brings together ten of David Walliams' most beloved novels in one giant paperback collection. From a grandmother's secret double life to a boy's fight to keep his pet rat safe, each story delivers the laugh-out-loud humor and surprising heart that have made Walliams one of the most popular children's authors writing today. Perfect for building a home library or classroom shelf, this set offers hours of independent reading for kids who love mischief, adventure, and real heart beneath the silliness. It's a wonderful gift for any young reader eager to explore a whole shelf of favorites at once.

About the Books
Each of the ten novels in this collection stands completely on its own, so young readers can dip in wherever curiosity strikes. In Gangsta Granny, Ben uncovers his grandma's astonishing past as a jewel thief, while Awful Auntie sees young Stella Saxby fighting to keep her family home from a scheming aunt and her sinister owl. Demon Dentist follows a town gripped by strange nighttime disappearances tied to a mysterious new dentist, and Ratburger centers on Zoe's determination to protect her beloved pet rat from a greedy villain. Billionaire Boy imagines what happens when a lonely kid has more money than he knows what to do with, and Mr Stink introduces a homeless man whose friendship changes a young girl's outlook on kindness and prejudice. The Boy in the Dress tells the tender story of Dennis, a boy who finds confidence in being himself, while Bad Dad follows a father and son racing against time and danger. The Midnight Gang whisks readers to a children's hospital ward where imagination becomes an escape from pain, and Grandpa's Great Escape uncovers a grandfather's thrilling secret past as a World War II flying ace. Across all ten books, Walliams mixes broad comedy with genuinely moving moments about family, courage, and acceptance. The set makes it simple to read the novels in any order, discuss favorite characters, and compare the different worlds Walliams creates from ordinary settings like schools, hospitals, and family homes.
