Awful Auntie by David Walliams

If you are a Roald Dahl fan, read on…


Set in the 1920s, this book is about Lady Stella Saxby, rightful heir to Saxby Hall, and her manipulative, evil, Aunt Alberta. Aunt Alberta has a giant pet owl called Wagner, and the pair will do absolutely anything to own Saxby Hall. You’ll be appalled at horrid Aunt Alberta and the despicable things she gets up to, but luckily Stella has a little help from a rather unlikely ally.

Author, David Walliams, writes with warmth, madcap humour and a prose style that fits well with his zany characters. From poor, orphaned Lady Stella, to Soot the ghostly chimney sweep, to Gibbon the ancient butler who serves burning slippers thinking their toasted crumpets. 

There's awesome illustrations throughout as well that help bring the story to life. Give this one a go... it's an easy read and you won't be disappointed!

Here’s David Walliams with a sneak peek! If you think he looks familiar... Yes!... He's a judge on Britain's Got Talent
