Wicked, wacky and wonderful! The fantastic collection of kids' fiction books by Anthony Horowitz is an excellent choice for young readers. As parents and children read together, prepare to laugh your socks off with the set of ten of our favourite Anthony Horowitz books - from the hilarious Public Enemy Number Two to the jaw-achingly funny Groosham Grange. Aimed at children between the ages of 7-9, but also popular among ‘tweens’, the Wickedly books provide children with hours of entertainment and can be a great choice to encourage more independent reading as they grow to become confident readers. For more books like these, check out our range of funny books. Funny books are a great way to encourage children to read more independently without it feeling like a chore!

These books continue to be on the recommended reading lists for schools among KS2 children for many reasons. Above all, the series is a collection of fiction books at their finest, with plenty of humour and written in such a way that children can understand. At the same time, the books encourage young readers to become more mature in their thinking of fiction stories and don’t present life as one big fairy tale. You may recognise the author of these books as Anthony Horowitz, who also wrote the bestselling Alex Rider books, another popular choice of fiction books for kids.

From the publisher:

The French Confection
The hard-up Diamond Brothers win a weekend for two in Paris, but as soon as they arrive, they find themselves in danger. There's a nasty smell in the air and it's not the cheese. If Nick and Tim aren't careful, their dream holiday could end up being a nightmare from which they'll never wake up.

The Blurred Man
Lenny Smile has been run over by a steamroller. He used to run a children's charity called Dream Time, financed by millionaire Joe Carter. Now Carter wants to know what happened to Smile... and to his money. Unfortunately, he's hired the Diamond Brothers - the world's worst private detectives - to solve the mystery!

The in Public Enemy Number Two
Wisecracking young Nick Diamond finds himself sharing a prison cell with Johnny Powers, Public Enemy No 1. His only chance of rescuing the situation is to nail master criminal, the Fence. But first, Nick has to get out of jail.

The Falcon's Malteser
When a dwarf comes into the office and leaves a package, Tim Diamond, the world's worst private dick, is faced with his toughest case yet. The office is ransacked and the package is found to contain simply a box of Maltesers. Who was the dwarf and why was he murdered shortly after his visit?

South by South East
Tim is broke. So when a mysterious stranger offers him a wad of money for his overcoat, it seems like a stroke of good fortune. But there are worse things than being broke. Being shot, for one – which is what happens to the stranger, and could soon be the fate of the Diamond Brothers.

Granny
Anthony Horowitz, creator of the bestselling Alex Rider series has written a wickedly funny story, with hilarious illustrations by Tony Ross. Twelve-year-old Joe has an unbelievably evil Granny. Not only is Granny physically repulsive and horribly mean, but she also has the look in her eye of a predatory crocodile. Soon Joe starts to suspect that she has unpleasant designs on him. But what are they and how can he foil them?

The Switch
When a dwarf comes into the office and leaves a package, Tim Diamond, the world's worst private dick, is faced with his toughest case yet. The office is ransacked and the package is found to contain simply a box of Maltesers. Who was the dwarf and why was he murdered shortly after his visit?

The Devil and His Boy
London is dirty, distant and dangerous ... but that's where orphan Tom Falconer is heading. And he's got a whole assortment of vicious criminals hot on his heels. Tom is helpless and alone until he meets Moll Cutpurse, a thirteen-year-old pickpocket. Together they find themselves chased across the city by the murderous Ratsey. But it's only on the first night of a new play - The Devil and his Boy - that Tom realizes that the fate of the Queen and indeed the entire country rests in his hands.

But a series of suspicious mishaps sees the gap between David and new boy Vincent King narrow alarmingly. 

Someone, it seems, is trying to stop David from winning - and, worse, threatening Groosham Grange itself!
