Praise for Little Badman and the Invasion of the Killer Aunties, one of The Guardian's 100 best holiday books for 2019

I know it's probably not the right thing to say honestly not seeing someone in a book that looked like me definitely meant that I didn't read many books growing up. I read Roald Dahl, Harry Potter but maybe if I had found a book with an Asian kid on the cover I might have read more because I would have found books I could relate to. You know, someone that spoke about gulab jamun's and shalwar kameezs' might have got my attention! Alongside the outrageous antics, whip-smart dialogue, and Little Badman’s irrepressiblepersonality, there’s a wonderful grandfather-grandson relationship and representation ofLittle Badman’s engagement with Pakistan. Full marks! You've probably heard of me, right? Little Badman. No? Oh. Well . . . doesn't Matter. You will do one day. I'm gonna be big.' I'm Humza Khan, the greatest eleven-year-old rapper Eggington ever had. I've also faced deadly alien slugs, killer aunties and double maths. But now, I (and my best friend Umer I guess) face something even scarier - my dad! He's pretty fed up with us being naughty, so he's sending us away . . . to school. But this is not ordinary school. This is a special summer school in Pakistan, and man something weird is going on - someone has been messing with time! I may have to save the world again . . .'

When Henry and I first collaborated on material for older audience but as tastes go, we both love crazy, out of this world. laugh out loud humour.
