From Matilda and The BFG to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, here are 26 easy costume ideas for your kids – ideal for World Book Day and they'll come in handy if your school's doing Roald Dahl Day, too! View gallery It is just the perfect book for any middle grader and teaches them how life can be mean but how you can deal with it with a smile! Then we have the equally awful headmaster of Tom's posh school, St. Willet's Boarding School for Boys, Mr. Thews!, oh what a mean spirited human being - he hates boys as much as Matron hates children.But he soon notices there is something strange going on. The children sneak out from the ward at night, past the controlling and Trunchbull-like Matron. Just where are they going? What are they doing? And what is the... Midnight Gang?? One of the simplest stories Walliams has come up with, it's also one of the more effective. A simple us-vs-them story, much like Matilda, it encompasses some powerful themes. I've read each one of David Walliams' novels for children, and this is now probably in my top three (after Boy in the Dress and Billionaire Boy).

David Walliamsin "Keskiyön jengi" (Tammi, 2020) täytyi ottaa kesäiselle lukulistalle, sillä jos hyvä tuuri kävisi, saattaisi kirjasta osoittautua samanlaiseksi täysosumaksi kuin vanhat ja monikäyttöiset vinkkaussuosikit Gangsterimummi (2016) ja Poika ja mekko (2015).As we gear up to celebrate your kids' favourite stories on World Book Day, browse our mega list of book-inspired costume ideas, from old classics to new faves.
