About the Author
David Walliams – comedian, actor and author – continues to take the children's literary world by storm. His tenth novel, BAD DAD, was an immediate number one, following the triumph of THE MIDNIGHT GANG, the biggest-selling children's book of 2016. WORLD'S WORST CHILDREN 2, which published in early 2017, spent four weeks at industry number one and eight weeks at the top of the children's chart. They have achieved unprecedented critical acclaim – and RATBURGER, DEMON DENTIST and AWFUL AUNTIE have all won the National Book Awards Children's Book of the Year. David's books have now exceeded 100 non-consecutive weeks in the children's number-one spot, and have been translated into 53 languages, selling more than 32 million copies worldwide.

What starts off a hillarious story. Transitions to Granny telling Ben her grandson of 11, that she has cancer and it is advanced. That she won’t make Christmas. Then there is a chapter where Ben and his parents sit with Granny when she dies.
“Ben simply held Granny’s hand. He didn’t want her to slip away into the darkness alone. They listened to her raspy breathing. It was a horrible sound. But there was only one sound worse. Silence. That would mean she was gone.”
Then there was the funeral as well.
I am conflicted. We do need to talk about death and dying more..... If a child hadn’t just been through a very similar circumstance, a child whose mother didn't die of cancer, it may be a good book. But way too much out of the blue in a book that had been funny at the start and didn't cary any warning about the sensitivity at the end...
