Bad Guys Movie: Bad Guys Movie Novelization by Kate Howard (author)

Our March 2022 Ages 7-8 Book of the Month

For kids aged 7 and over, my Book of the Month this March is The Bad Guys: Movie Novelization. Mr Wolf and his gang have been the villains of every story, labelled as “The Bad Guys” from birth – what else would you expect from a wolf, shark, snake, piranha and tarantula? But what if everyone wasn’t scared of them? With a makeover and some good deeds under their belt, can these wannabe heroes actually save the day this time?

Adapted from the bestselling series by Aaron Blabey, this is the movie novelization based on the major motion picture The Bad Guys, coming to your cinemas this April. With a star-studded cast starring Awkwafina, Anthony Ramos, Craig Robinson and Richard Ayoade, it is one not to be missed this Easter half term. The book also contains eight full-colour page spreads of their sure to be favourite scenes, great for engaging reluctant readers. Perfect to read before or after the movie, there are also 12 original Bad Guys stories published, ready for kids to dig into if they become a fan. The Bad Guys series has sold 8.2 million copies worldwide, known and loved for its hilarity and heart, and is perfect for fans of Dog Man.
