Synopsis

Return to the forest where anything can happen. An unmissable new book in Nadia Shireen’s bestselling and wildly funny illustrated comedy adventure series, Grimwood!

'Our finest children’s author' - Richard Osman 

Perfect for readers age 7+, and fans of Dog Man, Roald Dahl, David Walliams, Loki: A Bad God's Guide to Being Good, Bunny vs Monkey and anyone who likes to laugh.

Sharon the Party Crow has lost her mojo! Three parties in one day have proved too much for Grimwood’s favourite raving resident, and now it’s up to Ted, Nancy, Willow, and the rest of the gang to help Sharon get her groove back. Teamwork, friendship and, most importantly, dance skills, will all be put to the test as the gang try to get the party started again!  

Fully illustrated throughout and full of heart, laughs and surprises, this is the must-read fourth title in the bestselling and fantastically anarchic Grimwood series.

However, this really didn't matter when it came to reading this, which is book 4 in the Grimwood series.   It was great to be back with these crazy characters and in this book we see some......more

Goodreads review by The Bauchler on March 22, 2025

Another excellent offering from Shireen. Maybe not as many laugh out loud moments in this one, but still enough to make this a thoroughly enjoyable tale. It explores the theme of friendships, falling out and getting back together again in a way that is understandable to pre-teens. Awooga!......more

3.5 stars The Grimwood books always make me laugh! They’re silly and proper fun. There’s friendship and mischief; there’s lost identities and found boats; there’s gorgeous illustrations and a lovely story; there’s a famous star and a stay at home rabbit who need help! Just brill!......more
