A wickedly funny and prank-filled adventure starring one of Roald Dahl's most hilarious and popular creations, The Twits.
This brand-new and deliciously revolting story is brilliantly written by internationally bestselling authors and children's literacy advocates Greg James and Chris Smith and illustrated by Emily Jones.
Mr and Mrs Twit are just about as nasty and revolting as two people can get. The only thing that brings the two of them pleasure is playing pranks on one another.
But, when a new family called the Lovelies move in next door, with their lively 10-year-old twins, they teach The Twits to stop being so mean and horrible and they all live happily ever after . . .
Ha! Not really. The Twits HATE the Lovelies.
But how far will The Twits go to rid themselves of their horribly nice new neighbours? And what happens when these new neighbours, who are armed with utter loveliness, start to fight back?

When the Lovelies move in next door to the Twits, their cheeriness and deliberate niceness drive Mr & Mrs Twit mad. What's worse, Mrs Twit is sure she knows Mrs Lovely, but she can't remember where from...a really funny book that will be loved by fans of Greg James and Chris Smith.
The Twits Next Door is about the Twits leading their everyday lives, when suddenly a new family moves in next door.
The new family is called the Lovelies, and they are the opposite of the Twits in every way, for instance, the Lovelies love the colour yellow, while the Twits hate colour, the Lovelies are 'glass-half-full' kinds of people and the Twits don't acknowledge the existence of the glass in the first place.
However, Mrs Twit thinks she recognises Mrs Lovely, but she can't quite remember where from...
Mr & Mrs Twit start to plan together (highly unusual) to make the Lovelies leave to stop them disrupting their daily horrible lives with cheeriness and deliberate niceness.

Revoltingly funny.
I liked this book because it was a funny story, the twits are so disgusting. I loved the ending when the lovelies get their revenge. My favourite character was Ruff as they are a kid like me. The funniest parts was the dancing underpants that made me laugh lots.... Read Full Review
