The fourth book in the hilarious series from Roald Dahl Funny Prize winning author Philip Ardagh and illustrator of The Gruffalo, Axel Scheffler.

Over the years, the Grunts have made more than a few enemies. But fortunately they’re all safely behind bars. Or are they? There’s been a prison break-out, and three of them are after REVENGE. It’s time for the Grunts to go on the run…

This last book brings back some familiar faces from the series and solves a couple of mysteries too…

Thomas Winkle was my favorite person in the book because he is super strong and I love strength. I recommend this book because I found the dialogues between Mr. and Mrs. Grunt really funny. Also, I was so excited and curious about the end of the book.

They use a tractor, bunny slippers, a mummy on a sack and an enormous man in a bird suit. They learn about their adopted son's background. love the adventures of Mr. Grunt and the family.

I love it. I think lots of other people can read it, probably everyone. I like it because the thief that escaped from prison went back into prison in the end. It is a funny book, my favourite character is Sunny... he is also the main character. Sunny is kindest.
