At no surprise to anyone, our August bestseller is the second installment in a new series from everyone's favourite funny man, Andy Griffiths. Coming in at number two is a gorgeous picture book that celebrates grandfathers and everything they love. And the much loved cat detective graphic novel series has taken spots four and seven.

Also making the list are two of our August books of the month: our Picture Book of the month which perfectly captures the unique character of the cockatoo; and our Middle Grade book of the month, the first in a new series by Amelia Mellor.
