Grandpa's Great Escape - Tapa blanda

"A Dahl-esque mix of humor and horror that will appeal to fans of both."--Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

"A goofy, gory, outlandish tale of deep evil and terrible tooth-rot--and sweetness of heart. Kids who enjoy humorous gross-out horror will definitely want to book an appointment of their own with the Demon Dentist."--Wall Street Journal

"Unlike other celebrity authors, Walliams can write; his energetic fairytale will be relished."--The Times

"The joy of David's books are that he completely understands how children think and feel and is never ever patronising."--The Sun

PRAISE IN THE USA FOR GRANDPA'S GREAT ESCAPE:
"A realistic and touching relationship. Ample illustrations from the always splendid Ross will keep the pages in this plump volume turning. A Dahl-esque tale."--Kirkus Reviews

"While the irreverent wit will keep readers engaged, the surprising tenderness in the relationship between Jack and his ailing grandfather is what makes this book truly shine. A darkly humorous tale with a surprising amount of heart."--School Library Journal

"The comedy is nicely counterbalanced by the poignant bond between Jack and Grandpa. Ross's energetic drawings and some playful use of typography bring additional drama and humor to the story."--Publishers Weekly

"A pleaser for fans of similar escapades engineered by the likes of Roald Dahl or Frank Cotrell-Boyce. Walliams, already popular in the UK, is a best-seller this side of the pond as well, and this caper promises to be no different."--ALA Booklist

"The ultimate emphasis on loving people where you find them, as Jack does when he accepts his role as squadron leader rather than grandson, is poignant and well conveyed, even amid the cheeky humor."--Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

PRAISE IN THE USA FOR DEMON DENTIST:
"A Brit-flavored romp that combines moments of intense terror and bracing courage with biting satire."--Kirkus Reviews
