Quick Reads provides brilliant short new books by bestselling authors to engage adults in reading: www. Camp David by David Walliams is a hilarious and heartwarming tale about a boy named David who embarks on a summer adventure at a campsite filled with comical characters and unexpected surprises. The bit that I most loved is the end because the sun comes out from the darkness and Alfred was holding the Union Jack.

Children are sensitive readers and I know what's happening in the world is very dark and it's the reality but there are other ways to put things across. And when his mother, the Queen, is dragged away to the Tower of London, Alfred must screw up his courage and battle to save her, himself… and the entire city. Because of his growing popularity in such a short period of time, author David has been described by as the fastest growing author of children’s books in The United Kingdom.It’s different and the concept is very topical - a dystopian vision of the future with greedy, despotic types in control of the country.

Mr Stink, Gangsta Granny, The Boy in the Dress and Billionaire Boy have all been adapted into TV comedy dramas. All with the sinister machinations of a 'power behind the throne' character running the show - and some twists that children will be shocked at and possibly upset by. This is a used book - there is no escaping the fact it has been read by someone else and it will show signs of wear and previous use.

In David Walliams' heartwarming tale, "Mr Stink," a lonely young girl named Chloe befriends a smelly but kind-hearted homeless man. Added to all this, David’s books have achieved unprecedented critical acclaim: Awful Auntie, Ratburger and Demon Dentist won the National Book Awards Children’s Book of the Year and in France David was awarded the popular Tamtam for Mr Stink and the prestigious Le Prix Du Livre De La Jeunesse for Ratburger, so it comes as no surprise that countless broadsheet reviewers have compared David to his all-time hero, Roald Dahl. They think of him as their friend too as he feeds them, cleans them, and even clears up their droppings.
