All except Toothless who has found a stash of eggs that he plans to keep all to himself… But not if the BIG DREADER has anything to do with it!

A jam-packed, fun-filled book of Roald Dahl facts!
It’s a trip through a year; with letters and observations by Roald Dahl himself about everything under the sun – from what he got up to as a boy and the best time of the year for conkers, to why he hated Christmas.
Jam-packed with weird and wonderful facts (find out what the most expensive food in the world is, and how to cook savoury crocodile), plus jokes, quizzes and top tips, here is the stuff that every Roald Dahl fan should know.

 Wally-Watchers, get ready to dive into the past – and maybe the future – on your        search  for Wally and his friends, Woof, Wenda, Wizard Whitebeard and Odlaw.
 Full of incredible searches, made even more fiendish in this miniature edition of the classic picture book.

Skulduggery Pleasant and Valkyrie Cain are back – just in time to see their whole world get turned upside down…
While they struggle to protect a known killer from an unstoppable assassin, Valkyrie is on a secret mission of her own. This quest, to prevent her dark and murderous destiny, threatens to take her to the brink of death and beyond. And then the body-snatching Remnants get loose, thousands of twisted souls who possess the living like puppets, and they begin their search for a being powerful enough to lead them. Facing such insurmountable odds, Skulduggery, Valkyrie, Ghastly and Tanith can trust no one. Not even each other…

Enjoy four very special days out this World Book Day, in this collection of fun short stories from Jacqueline Wilson. From a trip to the country to a seaside outing and a funfair adventure, Big Day Out is a wonderful treat for dedicated fans of Jacqueline Wilson, and for readers who are discovering her for the very first time.
