have children (and their grown-ups) begging for more. Perfect for
readers age 7+, and fans of Dog Man, Roald Dahl, David Walliams,

happen. But the dastardly mayor of neighbouring town Twinklenuts is
on a mission to take over Grimwood and kick everyone out. Ted and
Nancy must muster up bags of courage, rally their friends, and show
off their treebonking skills to save the home they've grown to
love. Fully illustrated throughout and full of heart, laughs and
surprises, this is the must-read second title in the bestselling
and fantastically funny Grimwood series. Nadia Shireen has won
awards for her picture books including the UKLA Book Award for Good
Little Wolf and most recently for Barbara Throws a Wobbler, which
has been described as a 'little doorway of joy' by Caitlin Moran.
She's also been shortlisted for the Roald Dahl Funny Prize and the
Waterstones Children's Book Prize, and has been Writer-Illustrator
in Residence for BookTrust. Grimwood is her first series for older
readers. Praise for Grimwood: 'The inside of Nadia Shireen's brain

surprising" The Times Best Books for Children 2021 When the

turn up at their door that evening, rucksack labelled "Einstein" on
his back... The family's new feathered friend helps Arthur to come
out of his shell and makes massive demands on Imogen's amateur
sleuthing. But together they must find out why Einstein came to
them and they must keep away from the mysterious white-coat man.
And Einstein can't stay forever, can he...? From stunning new
writing talent Iona Rangeley, and illustrated with wit and brio by
the award-winning David Tazzyman, this is a book that will be
treasured for years to come.
