This raucous volume by best-selling children's author David
Walliams acts as the perfect introduction to slightly lengthier reads (aimed at
ages 8-12). Tom, a school-boy who suffered a bump on his head from a cricket
ball, awakes in the children’s ward of Lord Funt Hospital, where he meets a ramshackle
group of hospital staff. From the wicked matron to the bumbling doctor (fresh
out of med school), Walliams has created an enticing world of characters to
explore. An abundance of lively illustrations maintains interest, and a creative
use of text, font and white-space brings greater dynamism to the reading experience.
Laugh-out-loud and heartfelt, this is a book not to be missed.
