Funnily enough I got this hilarious, heart-warming book from my own auntie (who is not awful at all!). Having read David Walliams’s previous books, I was very surprised to see that unlike his other books, this story was set a long time ago.
Awful Auntie follows a little girl called Stella Saxby who lives with her parents in a huge stately home. One morning she wakes to find her parents gone and her horrendous auntie tells her that her parents died in a terrible car accident. Could it be true? Stella discovers the awful deeds her auntie has committed, revealing shocking but hilarious results.
In this spell-binding novel, Walliams incorporates the perfect mix of roaring jokes that will have you in stitches and a great, exciting plot that will have you wanting to know where the story will turn next.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this novel and I think anyone who likes a good laugh, an action packed adventure and an all round brilliant book will love Awful Auntie from start to finish!
