An Afternoon With David Baddiel

David Baddiel will be joining us in store for a reading and signing of his latest book Birthday Boy!

The much-loved comedian, television presenter and author has made a great impression with his children’s literature. Following the successes of The Parent Agency, Animalcolm and The Person Controller, Birthday Boy is his latest rip-roaring, roller-coaster ride novel!

Sam Green was really, really, really looking forward to his eleventh birthday. I mean: really. He couldn’t wait. In the days leading up to it – his birthday was on the eighth of September – he simply wouldn’t talk about anything else.

The special breakfasts in bed, the presents, the themed parties, blowing the candles out, everything!

At first, it’s quite exciting when Sam’s birthday appears again the next morning and again, and again and again… But it’s not long before things start to go wrong. Disaster strikes, threatening something Sam loves even more than birthdays. In order to protect what he loves most, Sam must overcome selfishness, greed and extreme weight gain and embark on a daring and adventurous mission with his sister Ruby.


Written in David’s inimitable, hilarious style, Birthday Boy is set to be one of 2017’s standout children’s fiction titles.
