The Twits: The Terrible Tale of Twitlandia
"Brought to you by Puffin.
A brand-new story, based on the global Netflix movie and inspired by the characters of Roald Dahl’s The Twits!
The Twits are the meanest, smelliest, nastiest people in the world.
They spend their days plotting dirty tricks on each other – and the whole town of Triperot where they live – oh, and they also own the most revolting amusement park in the world, Twitlandia.
When one day, the Twits go too far, two BRAVE children and a family of marvellous creatures decide to stand up to them.
But they will need to become as tricky as the Twits themselves to get justice...
Can our pair save their town from a plan more dastardly than anything the Twits have attempted before?
