Publisher's Synopsis
Fing is a delightfully daft story with laugh-out-loud Walliams fun on every page.
Aimed at 7+ readers, it is the perfect invitation for younger readers to Walliams and a perfect treat for his legions of existing fans. Fing dovetails seamlessly with The World’s Worst Children short stories and his longer novels.
Meet the Meeks! Librarians Mr and Mrs Meek will do anything to keep their darling daughter, Myrtle Meek, happy. Myrtle has everything a child could possibly want. But everything isn’t enough. She wants more, more, more! When Myrtle declares that she wants a FING, there’s only one problem... WHAT IS A FING? In a hilarious quest that takes Mr and Mrs Meek from the forbidden vaults of the library, through the pages of a mysterious book called The Monsterpaedia and to the farthest corners of the jungle – there are laughs aplenty in this explosively funny and unforgettable tale. But will they ever find a FING...?
David Walliams said “I wanted to write a story just to make children laugh, and nothing else. I think this is my funniest book, and I hope it will appeal to young readers and reluctant readers everywhere.”
