Full to the brim with heart-warming characters and witty humour, The Midnight Gang is sure to be a Walliams classic. Emily Bearn wrote in The Daily Telegraph, "it is a simple and touching story of children overcoming adversity with make-believe". The same basic idea also works for Minnie the Minx; you just need to stick a red pom-pom on a black beret for the full effect. David Walliamsin "Keskiyön jengi" (Tammi, 2020) täytyi ottaa kesäiselle lukulistalle, sillä jos hyvä tuuri kävisi, saattaisi kirjasta osoittautua samanlaiseksi täysosumaksi kuin vanhat ja monikäyttöiset vinkkaussuosikit Gangsterimummi (2016) ja Poika ja mekko (2015).An animal hoodie, a piece of cardboard and some paint is pretty much all you need to make this Dear Zoo costume. In case anyone is wondering about my old favourite Raj, yes, even Raj has got himself into the story as usual, as a patient who is decidedly not happy with the hospital food! Niinpä Tom pääsee osaksi Keskiyön Jengiä, joka seikkailee öisin sairaalan käytävillä toteuttaakseen suurta suunnitelmaansa.

I've read each one of David Walliams' novels for children, and this is now probably in my top three (after Boy in the Dress and Billionaire Boy). At midnight most of the children sneak out and fulfill a dream each night for one of their fellow residents. Things go from bad to worse when he meets the wicked matron in charge of the children’s ward… But Tom is about to embark on the most thrilling journey of a lifetime! Walliams on kuitenkin esikuvaansa kesympi ja sovinnaisempi, eikä uskalla loppuratkaisussa painaa kaasua ihan pohjaan, vaikka mahdollisuuksia siihen olisi ollut. it's a heartstring-tugging, thought-provoking tale with unforgettable characters, relatable issues, and a determination to do better than the bad people in your life.

When the clock strikes midnight most children are fast asleep, but for the Midnight Gang the journey is just beginning. Tony Ross has illustrated many favorite books for children, including Lynne Reid Banks's Harry the Poisonous Centipede titles, the popular series about extra-terrestrial teacher Dr. If you want to attempt an easier version, cut a tree shape out of a large piece of card and paint it brown for your child to carry. It feels a little like Matilda, which I'm sure the author would be happy to hear, and is just full of heart. Ehkä Sallyn kohtalo jäi hieman vajaaksi ja mietinkin että millaiselta tarina olisi tuntunut jos Sallyn kohtalo olisi ollut huonompi, olisiko viesti hämärtynyt vai ollut vielä vaikuttavampi?
