Kids Chapter Book (Age 8-12) Bargain Book Box

Four Last Kids on Earth books and four David Walliams novels in one box. That’s most of a school holiday accounted for.

Jack and his monster-fighting crew take on the cosmic beyond, the monster dimension, the Destructor’s lair, and the skeleton road. Walliams sends a chimp into space, puts Santa’s useless son to work, unleashes the most incompetent family in fiction, and runs a whodunit with a very high silliness count.

Around them: Kiran Millwood Hargrave’s epic fantasy, an award-winning graphic novel about a boy who wakes up with a horn, a Welsh folk-horror adventure, Paddington in Peru, and a girl who can walk into dreams and finds something already waiting there.
