What silently waits in the shadows at night? What's under your bed, keeping just out of sight? Do you ever hear strange, creaking noises at night? Ever wonder what makes those noises? Lucy Dungston always did. Until, one morning, Lucy discovers that all the grown-ups have disappeared - as if into thin air. Chaos descends as the children in Lucy's town run riot. It's mayhem. It's madness. To most kids, it's amazing!

We love Pig (we can't help it), but Pig loves Farmer, and he can't help it either. After all, Farmer gives Pig yummy slops and special back scratches, and calls him Sausage and seems to love him more, the fatter he gets. Just as well Pig doesn't speak any Farmer. But Duck does (Duck's clever like that), and he's determined his best friend should know the truth. This is tough for Pig. But Pig won't just sit there and weep (though we may do, on his behalf), because there's help from an unexpected quarter: the Evil Chickens have a plan....

Summary
Laugh your head off with this fully illustrated new series, adapted for audio, from award-winning Nadia Shireen. Perfect for listeners age seven to 107, fans of Dog Man, Roald Dahl, Mr Gum and David Walliams, and anyone who loves to laugh.
Fox cub siblings Ted and Nancy are on the run from Princess Buttons, the scariest street cat in the Big City. They flee for Grimwood, expecting to find refuge in the peaceful countryside. Instead, they are met with thieving eagles, dramatic ducks, riotous rabbits and a whole host of unusual characters. Grimwood is...weird. But when Princess Buttons tracks them down, Nancy and Ted and the animals of Grimwood must unite in a mind-bending race against time....
This memorable, distinctive and warm-hearted comedy series will have kids begging to hear more.
Nadia Shireen has won awards for her picture books including the UKLA Book Award for Good Little Wolf, and her latest, Barbara Throws a Wobbler, 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 learners.

Excellent family fun. 'Kay thanks bye!
Grimwood is amazing. It's brilliantly funny and Adam Buxton's reading is sublime, with great characterisation, making it easy for all the family to follow and enjoy. It's so good that not only did it stop my kids from fighting over a long car journey (which is a miracle) but they also enjoyed it so much that as soon as it finished they demanded we start it over again immediately! They're even discussing Grimwood World Book Day costumes even though it's six months away. It's not just for kids though, I loved it too and nearly crashed at one point from laughing so much in the Binky chapter. What a gem.
