'The Boy In The Dress'

What's it about? This controversially titled book tells the story of a boy who finds his life changes "dramatically" after he finds he enjoys wearing the dress. Publisher HarperCollins' spokeswoman said: "It is about how one ordinary boy can do something extraordinary and how it can change his life for the better". Walliams reportedly signed a six-figure book deal.

Verdict: Complemented by memorable illustrations by Quentin Blake (famous for his work in Roald Dahl's books) the book is full of charm and character. The simple children's story explores in gentle way, the issue of being different to others and acceptance.
