Review:
The Boy in the Dress is the hilarious, heartwarming, and ground-breaking first children's novel from David Walliams, the number one bestselling author of Gangsta Granny and Ratburger. Dennis lives in a boring house on a boring street in a boring town. He's good at football, misses his mum, and feels like something is missing. Then he discovers a secret passion — fashion! With the help of his new friend Lisa, Dennis discovers that wearing a dress makes him feel happy and free. But when his secret is discovered, Dennis must find the courage to be himself — no matter what others think. Funny, touching, and brilliantly illustrated by Quentin Blake (the legendary illustrator of Roald Dahl's books), this book celebrates individuality, friendship, and being true to who you are. Perfect for readers aged 8–12.
