Million-copy bestseller David Walliams’ funniest book yet – a laugh-out-loud tale of the most blundering and lovable family in history
A hilariously funny new illustrated children’s novel from the multi-million bestselling author of SPACEBOY
Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! DescriptionFrom the creative mind of the million-copy bestselling author David Walliams comes The Blunders, a riotously funny tale of mishaps, eccentricity, and family. Set amidst the picturesque yet precarious backdrop of a dilapidated country house known as Blunder Hall, this novel spins a yarn about a family so endearingly out of touch with reality that their escapades will leave readers of all ages in stitches.
Meet the Blunders: the charming yet clumsy Bertie and his equally muddle-headed wife Betsy, along with their two lively children, Brutus and Bunny. Adding to the family chaos is their quirky grandma, Old Lady Blunder, and the inexplicably adopted family pet, Cedric the ostrich—an unusual choice that perfectly complements their unconventional ways.
Life at Blunder Hall is anything but ordinary, and when their ancestral home faces the threat of ruin, this eccentric family must navigate a whirlwind of whimsical and hilarious misadventures to try and save it. With each attempt more ludicrous than the last, the Blunders redefine what it means to rise (or fumble) to the occasion in their quest to preserve their home.
Absurd and heartwarming, The Blunders showcases David Walliams' signature humour and his unparalleled ability to create characters that are as loveable as they are hapless. Fans of Walliams' previous works, including his recent title The World's Worst Monsters, will revel in this uproarious addition to his literary collection.
For readers seeking a tale brimming with laughter, chaotic adventures, and lessons about family and resilience, The Blunders is a delightful romp that promises to entertain from beginning to end.
