Return to Grimwood, where anything can happen (and usually does), for a brilliantly bonkers Sunday Book Club with Nicci!

We'll be reading from The Fast and the Furriest, the hilarious sixth adventure in Nadia Shireen's bestselling Grimwood series, before getting stuck into some creative Grimwood fun of our own.

Expect ridiculous animal antics, plenty of laughs and the small matter of the TREEBONK WORLD CUP!

ABOUT GRIMWOOD: THE FAST AND THE FURRIEST

It's time for the Treebonk World Cup and teams from around the world are arriving to compete for the trophy.

Fox cub Nancy is determined that her scrappy team of squirrels will bring the trophy home to Grimwood. There's just one problem...

The Grimwood team are a bit rubbish.

And Twinklenuts' stadium has been destroyed.

And one of the teams has mysteriously DISAPPEARED.

Uh-oh.

It's up to Nancy, Ted and the rest of the Grimwood gang to save the tournament in another wildly funny adventure packed with friendship, surprises and complete and utter chaos.

Fully illustrated throughout, The Fast and the Furriest is the sixth book in Nadia Shireen's hugely popular Grimwood series – perfect for fans of Dog Man, Bunny vs Monkey and Beastie Bros.
