From making friends and breaking out a gorilla to disguising and wandering in enemy territory, to even escape a bomb submarine, The trio are always ready for more chaos. Although Grandma’s death, and its manner, following on from Eric’s parents’ deaths shocked me, I liked Walliams’s normalizing of grief as a process. The three of them hide out at the seaside, but soon they stumble upon a top-secret Nazi plot that will require all their wits and bravery to stop.

And a final act involving two not-at-all suspicious old ladies in a dilapidated seaside boarding house.
