The Grunts in Trouble 

By Philip Ardagh illustrated Axel Scheffler

Meet Mr and Mrs Grunt. Oh, go on They're not the bad. No, actually, they ARE. Maybe worse, even.
But Sunny their sort-of son, is okay. They stole him from a washing line as a baby. He was hanging by his ear, which probably explain why they are so wonky (but not why he has stick-up hair the NEVER lies flat even if you pour glue  into it or try taping it down it in to place)
Sticking around and you will also meet Lord Bigg from Bigg Manor,  Bigg-hater Larry smalls, Mimi the Bigg Manor boot boy (yes she is a Girl) and... Well you got to read the book to  find out. But I should mention the bees.
