Title and Jacket Revealed for David Walliams’ Ninth Novel for Children


 

HarperCollins Children’s Books is delighted to announce the news that millions of children around the globe have been waiting for – the arrival of the ninth fiction novel from David Walliams.

In what has already been a phenomenally successful publishing year for the UK’s biggest children’s fiction author, his next book, The Midnight Gang, has black-and-white line illustrations and will publish in trade paperback, priced $24.99, before Christmas on or about the 7th November. It will be released simultaneously in eBook and audio, with the story hilariously performed by the author himself. The cover, illustrated by Tony Ross, is revealed for the first time today.

With all the hallmarks of a Walliams classic, this heart-warming, humorous tale is set to be the publishing event of the season, making the gift of a Walliams story a must-have for every child this Christmas.

Since making his debut into the world of children’s literature in 2008, David has celebrated exceptional success and growth that has fuelled the children's book market. His global sales total over 14 million copies and his work has been translated into 49 languages. This year alone he has already achieved two weeks as overall industry number one and eleven weeks at the top of the children's bestseller chart with his spring collection of short stories The World’s Worst Children*. His previous fiction novel, Grandpa’s Great Escape was the biggest-selling children’s book of 2015.
