A new children’s book from actor, director and writer Richard Roxburgh is our bestselling children’s book of last week. Artie and the Grime Wave is a riotously funny illustrated adventure for ages 8+. Our reviewer writes: ‘Lively illustrations and plenty of dark and extremely gross humour will certainly make this a very good choice for readers who have been loving David Walliams’ books.‘ Read the full review here.

Other October releases on our bestsellers list for young readers include… Jon Klassen’s new 'hat book’ (a follow up to his bestselling picture books I Want My Hat Back and This is Not My Hat); Kaz Cooke’s friendly reference book for tweens; another exciting adventure with Magnus Chase from Rick Riordan; and, an enchanting, magical tale from Karen Foxlee – whose earlier book, Ophelia and the Marvellous Boy, was shortlisted for our Readings Children’s Book Prize in 2015.
