Synopsis

Laugh your head off in this second adventure in the bestselling, highly acclaimed Grimwood series.
Your favourite fox cub siblings Ted and Nancy are back with an all-new wildly funny story that will have children (and their grown-ups) begging for more. Perfect for readers age 7+, and fans of Dog Man, Roald Dahl, David Walliams, Loki, Bunny vs Monkey and anyone who likes to laugh.

Ted and Nancy love their new life in Grimwood - the forest where anything can happen. But the dastardly mayor of neighbouring town Twinklenuts is on a mission to take over Grimwood and kick everyone out. Ted and Nancy must muster up bags of courage, rally their friends, and show off their treebonking skills to save the home they've grown to love. Fully illustrated throughout and full of heart, laughs and surprises, this is the must-read second title in the bestselling and fantastically funny Grimwood series.

Eric Dynamite, the woodlouse, is back to guide us through another hilarious adventure in Grimwood. Fox cub siblings Ted and Nancy are back with an all-new wildly funny story that will have children (and their grown-ups) laughing out loud.

In Grimwood: Let the Fur Fly, Ted and Nancy are happily settled in Grimwood, the forest where anything can happen, with their new friends. But when a stranger arrives and threatens to destroy Grimwood forever, it is up to the gang to save the home they love. A mysterious new fox, a daring new mission and glitter cannons galore, what more could you want from an early chapter book! Well… with Let the Fur Fly, you also get wonderfully humorous illustrations, fantastically well chosen language to create, action, pace and adventure and genuine laugh out loud moments. Who wouldn't want to be in Grimwood?

I know that this is another in Nadia's wonderful Grimwood series that will fly off the shelves. It was one that I needed to read cover to cover and could not put down. In school I would use this as a class story, a guided reading focused text or a child's individual reading book. This text could start some wonderful discussions about the use of illustrations, word choice and character development.
