Oh dear. The Grunts are back.

Mr Grunt has to get a POGI (that’s a Person ofGreat Importance, apparently) to a certain person ata certain time. On an island. And there are others out

there who want the POGI for themselves.

Add to this the wheelchair-whizzing Speedy McGinty,the mysterious Max and Matha (sharing a single moustache between them) and Rodders Lasenby who’s turned rudeness

into a fine art, and you’ll see why the Grunts’ stolen sonSunny doesn’t know who to trust ... or whether Fingersthe elephant will sink the boat and leave them all at sea.

PRAISE FOR THE GRUNTS IN TROUBLEA Telegraph Top Ten Children’s Book of the Year

“clever word-play, irony and plain silliness ... wonderfully incisive and daft illustrations ... laugh out loud.” Telegraph

“Their adventures are as unsavoury as they are

entertaining ... Fans of Roald Dahl’s The Twits willdelight in this disgusting but amiable family.” Guardian
