A-Z Recommendation M: The Midnight Gang


Our book recommendation for the letter M is... The Midnight Gang

The midnight gang – David Walliams 
Snr Fiction – Available as book and eBook 

This is another hugely popular David Walliams book.  We have three ebook copies on our catalogue, and the book book version has been issued 86 times!! 

The Midnight Gang is set in a crumbly old London hospital called the Lord Funt Hospital, which is run by a cruel old Matron (think  Miss Trunchbull in Matilda!). 

The Midnight Gang are all patients in the children’s ward at the hospital.  There is Amber, George, Robin and Sally. When Tom is bonked on the head by a cricket ball at his very posh school, he also sent to the hospital. 

When Big Ben strikes 12 the children (except for Sally, who is very sick) set off on adventures around the hospital, assisted by The Porter, who has lived at the hospital all his life.  Amber is the leader of the Midnight Gang, but Tom helps out with things the others can’t (or won’t) do. 

Read the book to find out about the magical and naughty adventures the group have in the dead of night! 

Some other great David Walliams books are; The beast of Buckingham Palace, Grandpa’s great escape and The ice monster.
