The Midnight Gang - Hardcover

by David Walliams (Author), Tony Ross (Illustrator)

Hailed as "the heir to Roald Dahl" by The Spectator, the UK's #1 bestselling children's author, David Walliams, will have fans of Jeff Kinney and Rachel Renee Russell in stitches!

David Walliams burst on to the American scene with his New York Times bestseller Demon Dentist, and now he's bringing his signature humor to the sick ward in The Midnight Gang.

Tom lands in the hospital with a nasty bump on the head after a gym class accident. And things only get worse when he meets the hospital staff, including the wicked matron of the children's ward.. But luckily, Tom's time in the hospital will be anything but boring when he discovers that his fellow patients turn the awful ward into the most wondrous world after lights out

Join the Midnight Gang as they make their wildest dreams come true!

What kind of mischief can a group of kids get up to in a hospital after dark?

• Found Family: Stuck on the children's ward together, Tom and his new friends form an unbreakable bond as they create their own fun far away from their families.
• Making Dreams Come True: From exploring the North Pole (in the hospital freezer!) to flying with hundreds of balloons, the gang stops at nothing to give each other the adventures of a lifetime.
• Wacky Adventures: Join a wild ambulance ride, outsmart a grumpy cleaning lady, and help an elderly patient take an unexpected flight over the rooftops of London.
• Beating the Bullies: With clever plans and a few special chocolates, the kids must work together to outwit the wicked Matron who wants to spoil all their fun.
