'Riotously funny, with enough expressive drawings and poo jokes to delight Pig fans as well as new readers' - Guardian
When the lights go off, the PESTS come out! The laugh-out-loud new series f rom the author/illustrator of the bestselling DIARY OF PIG series and DADDY FARTYPANTS. With amazing GLOW IN THE DARK cover, and a hidden message for young pests to find.
Meet Stix, the tiny but heroic mouse who might be living behind your washing machine. But is he naughty enough to join the PESTS?
Stix is the size of an egg cup, can jump the width of a dog's bottom, and LOVES cheese. That's because Stix is a mouse. He probably lives behind your washing machine, but you wouldn't know it, because his grandma taught him to always stay out of trouble and NEVER let the humans know he's there. But now Stix has stumbled across P.E.S.T.S. - the Peewit Educatorium for Seriously Terrible Scoundrels - in the basement of his building, and along with a whole host of new pesty friends (and enemies), he's about to rip up Grandma's rule book and make a REAL pest of himself...
Award-winning author Emer Stamp grew up on a sheep farm in Devon. Her first dream was to be a vet, but she was rubbish at science. Her second was to design record covers, but the medium became obsolete. Finally, she moved to London and alighted on a career in advertising. Here she found global success, creating famous commercials for the likes of: John Lewis, Volkswagen, Cadburys and Harvey Nichols. In 2015 she left the advertising industry to become a full-time author. Her first book The Unbelievable Top Secret Diary of Pig was a best-seller. It was followed up by The Super Amazing Adventures of Pig, The Seriously Extraordinary Diary of Pig and The Big, Fat, Totally Bonkers Diary of Pig. In 2018 The Big, Fat, Totally Bonkers Diary of Pig was voted the funniest book for 6-8 year olds by the Lollies (Laugh Out-Loud Book Awards). Emer’s first picture book Daddy Fartypants was published in 2019. The first book of her new series, P.E.S.T.S – about a school for naughty creatures, will be published in April 2020.
