Books The Blunders: A hilariously funny new illustrated children’s novel from the multi-million bestselling author of SPACEBOY by David Walliams (Author), Adam Stower (Illustrator)

"The Blunders" by David Walliams, illustrated by Adam Stower, is a hilariously funny illustrated children’s novel about the most blundering and lovable family in history. The story centers on the Blunder family living in a crumbling country house called Blunder Hall. The family includes Lord Bertie Blunder, who is 5,268th in line for the throne, his wife Betsy, their children Brutus and Bunny, their feisty grandma Old Lady Blunder who wields a blunderbuss, and Cedric, their pet ostrich renowned for pecking bottoms.

When Blunder Hall comes under threat of foreclosure, the family embarks on a series of comic misadventures to save their home. These include crazy schemes such as a concert with homemade musical instruments, fake antiques sales, a marrow-growing competition, and masquerading the estate as a tourist attraction, circus, and haunted house. The book is packed with slapstick humor, outrageous inventions, and witty wordplay, appealing primarily to children aged 7 to 12 and especially reluctant or young readers.
