Little Badman and the Invasion of the Killer Aunties by Humza Arshad, Henry White

4.0

I've been reading this book with a group of 9 and 10 year olds and have seen first hand how it has helped to get reluctant readers excited about fiction. It's a fun, silly, action-packed story that will entertain children all the way through.

Humza discovers his school is slowly being taken over by evil aliens posing as aunties. Together with his two friends Wendy and Umer, he must work to save the town and deal with the antics from his Dad and Mum at the same time.

I love the Little Badman books, they are so fun to read and I have learnt a lot about Pakistani culture as a result. I can't wait to share these books with children in KS2!

A book about family, friendship and bravery.
