Perfect for fans of Roald Dahl and Liz Pichon, each book in this laugh-out-loud series focuses on a different neighbour.

'One funny, fabulous, pile driving BLAST of a book.' - LIZ PICHON
'A wonderful mix of heart, wit and wrestling Lycra' - KATHERINE RUNDELL
'Warm, funny and heartfelt ... A phenomenal book' - ROBIN STEVENS

This is the story of Jake Biggs and his dad, George. George spends all week knocking down buildings ... and all weekend knocking down wrestlers! He's the Demolition Man, and Jake couldn't be prouder. But when Jake hears about a pro-wrestling competition in the USA, and persuades his beloved dad to apply, things don't quite turn out the way he expected ...

DEMOLITION DAD is DANNY THE CHAMPION OF THE WORLD in Spandex, a book bursting with humour and heart.

Industry Reviews

Underneath the high-octane humour and silliness, Earle weaves in powerful themes of father/son relationships, bullying, depression, self-esteem, failure and even frustrated career women. But mostly of love. This is a gloriously life-affirming novel: funny, sensitive, intelligent and with a heart as big as George's waistline.
