Awful Auntie - Author David Walliams

A wildly funny and slightly spooky adventure full of twists, owls, and one unforgettable aunt.

From the imagination of bestselling author David Walliams comes the tale of Awful Auntie—a story brimming with laughter, mystery and heart. Young Stella Saxby wakes to find herself orphaned and the heiress to Saxby Hall… but her villainous Aunt Alberta has other plans.

Determined to snatch the estate, Aunt Alberta—with the help of her fearsome owl, Wagner—will do anything to get her hands on it. But Stella isn’t alone. With the help of an unexpected (and ghostly) friend, she’s ready to fight back.

Why we, and schools, love it:

• Encourages courage and resourcefulness in the face of injustice
• Packed with humour and suspense to engage even reluctant readers
• Explores themes of grief, family and resilience in a child-friendly way
