Perfect for fans of Mr Gum and The Animals of Farthing Wood, this hilarious, irreverent series from picture book superstar Nadia Shireen follows two urban foxes who escape to the wonderfully weird forest of Grimwood!
After a run-in with the scariest street cat in the Big City, fox cub siblings Ted and Nancy flee for Grimwood, expecting to find refuge in the peaceful countryside. Instead, they are met with thieving eagles, dramatic ducks, riotous rabbits and an absurd game called Treebonk! While Ted quickly falls in love with his wacky new neighbours, Nancy thinks they’re all bonkers. But she soon discovers that, as kooky they are, the animals of Grimwood always look out for each other. Now Nancy must ask herself an important question: yes, Grimwood may be weird, but could it also be . . . home? Grimwood marks Nadia Shireen’s first foray into young fiction. She is the award-winning author-illustrator of Good Little Wolf (Jonathan Cape), and the illustrator of the hotly anticipated Slug in Love (Simon & Schuster). PRAISE FOR NADIA SHIREEN: ‘Shireen’s latest book confirms her as one of the brightest and best picture book creators working in Britain today… Sensational.’ – The Observer TweetReviews
I like Ted because he is funny and really scared.

I LOVED this book!! IT was a really funny fiction book. It had funny characters and my favourite character was Princess Buttons. I would definitely recommend this book to everyone.
it was really funny and fun . it was packed with adventure excitement
This was a fiction book about Ted and Nancy the Foxes. My favourite part of the story is when the ugly cat 'princess buttons' goes into speedy chicken which is a place with lots of bins (where the Foxes eat) Princess buttons tail accidently goes into a hot dog bun, Ted picks it up and takes a huge bite thinking it was the hot dog of his dreams but bites Princess buttons tail off.
It was so funny!
It was a funny and exciting book. I would recommend it. My favourite character was Ted. Difficult to read for a 6 years old and sometimes to understand it.
I liked the book because it was a hilarious story and my favorite character was Ted.

It's really funny,but it is a bit boring in some bits.It's a pleasure to read,and I think Nadia Shireen is a great author.
It's was really good. My favourite character was Ted. It made me laugh esp the bit where princess buttons head got bitten off
Funny story and I would recommend this to others.
I love the Grimwood series. Frank was my favourite character as he always gives humour when someone is sad.
Bellyblasting!
I liked it but it was not as funny as I thought it would be. I think the reviews I'd read before I borrowed it made me think it would be really funny.
The amazing adventure of a young fox and his older sister.
I really enjoyed the humour in this story. Ted and Willow are my favourite characters and I loved reading about treebonk it really made me laugh.
LOL! Head and tail biting was weeeird but everything was just amazing.
