The Twits Next Door

A new classic from the world of Roald Dahl!

When a moving van arrives next door to the Twits and Mr. and Mrs. Lovely get out, that's bad enough. But it gets WORSE. . . Their two Lovely children, Ruff and Tumble, have moved in next door too. And the Twits HATE children. (Sorry if you are one. We don't hate you, just to be clear.) The Twits decide the Lovelies MUST go. Even if it means some serious plotting, which involves: a hungry tiger, GIANT catapults, and LOTS of disgusting dog hair.
Will the horrible pair succeed in their dastardly plan? Or can the Lovelies out-trick the terrible Twits?

About the Author
As well as writing the bestselling Kid Normal series and the brilliant adventures The Great Dream Robbery and Super Ghost with Chris Smith, Greg James is the host of the Radio 1 Breakfast Show, the cricket-based podcast Tailenders, and Radio 4's Rewinder. Basically he's turned all his favorite things into work and now has no hobbies. Greg lives in north London with his wife, Bella, and his dog, Barney, who is staring at him impatiently because he wants to go for a walk.

Chris Smith is the author of loads of lovely books, including the award-winning, bestselling Kid Normal series, which he co-wrote with Greg James. He's also a former champion bell ringer--seriously--and a number one recording artist (kind of). As well as his books with Greg, Chris writes books on his own, including the fabulous fantasy adventure Frankie Best Hates Quests. Before he was an author, Chris worked as a newsreader and presenter on radio stations including Xfm and BBC Radio 1. His most famous news bulletin is probably the one sampled by George Michael in 1998 and used on his international hit "Outside."

Roald Dahl is one of the world's best and most original storytellers with over 300 million books sold, translated into 68 languages. Deeply funny and deliciously dark, his timeless stories are beloved by kids and adults alike and have introduced generations of kids to the joys of reading and the imagination.
