Synopsis

A star-studded cast of authors including Sara Pascoe, Kevin and Katie Tsang and Sharna Jackson deliver ten brand new stories inspired by the great Roald Dahl's incredible characters in this villainous collection that will thrill readers aged 8+

What could be worse than having Miss Trunchbull as your school teacher? How about having her as your summer holiday camp leader! Who knows what terrible tortures she’ll have in store for another class of LOATHSOME LEECHES?

Boggis, Bunce and Bean thought they’d met their match in a rather famous (and fantastic) fox . . . but what will they make of a new set of GHASTLY intruders to their farm?

Everyone knows Slugworth hates Willy Wonka – but this time, can he find a way to be TRULY DASTARDLY and finally steal the secrets of the world’s most famous chocolate factory?

In this collection of ten FIENDISH short stories, some of today’s best-loved storytellers have imagined what these infamous ROALD DAHL characters might be plotting.

Dive in – but hold tight! These are definitely NOT cosy little bedtime stories. Expect schemes, tricks and villainy from some of the BIGGEST BADDIES around . . .
