A new children’s book from actor, director and writer Richard Roxburgh is our bestselling children’s book of last week. Artie and the Grime Wave is a riotously funny illustrated adventure for ages 8+. Our reviewer writes: ‘Lively illustrations and plenty of dark and extremely gross humour will certainly make this a very good choice for readers who have been loving David Walliams’ books.‘ Read the full review here.
