The Midnight Gang by David Walliams

The Midnight Gang by David Walliams

A magical, heartwarming, and wonderfully funny adventure about friendship, dreams, and the power of imagination.

In The Midnight Gang, twelve-year-old Tom wakes up in the Children’s Ward of Lord Funt Hospital after a rather unfortunate accident. What he doesn’t expect is to stumble into a secret group of kids who sneak out of their beds every night. They call themselves The Midnight Gang, and their mission is simple—but extraordinary: to make the wildest dreams of the children in the ward come true.

With the help of some unusual grown-ups (and one terrifying matron!), the gang sets out on midnight adventures filled with wonder, laughter, and daring escapades. Along the way, Tom discovers the joy of friendship, the courage to believe in himself, and the magic that can happen when kindness leads the way.

Full of David Walliams’ signature humour, warmth, and unforgettable characters—brought to life by Tony Ross’s lively illustrations—The Midnight Gang is an uplifting story that celebrates hope and the importance of helping others.

Perfect for readers aged 7–12, this enchanting tale is a bedtime favourite and a reminder that even in the darkest places, dreams can shine the brightest.
