Best friends Stanley and Manjit are part of Class 4B, which Head teacher Mrs Bottomley-Blunt says is the worst class in the world. She says school is not about footling or fiddle-faddling or fun. It is about learning and it is high time 4B tried harder to excel at it. But they didn’t literally mean to let the class stick insects loose in the wilds of the playground. And they really didn't literally mean to make a massive mess trying to do modern art (which may or may not have involved a mummified cat being stolen).

A magical and hilarious short-story collection from 13 bestselling, much-loved storytellers. This is the perfect seasonal listen featuring 12 brand-new short stories based on their author’s favourite Roald Dahl characters.

He might have the lamest superpower ever, but Dylan, aka Iguana Boy, has proven himself worthy enough to be accepted into the superhero collective. Dylan is excited, and his iguanas are hyper. Recipe for success, right? Iguana Boy and his team of iguanas eagerly await their orders to save the world. But CEO of the Superhero Collective Ron Strongman doesn't have time for lowly superheroes. Dylan will have to find his own way to get to the top, or else he will be saving silly cats from trees forever.

Dylan has wanted a superpower for as long as he can remember, especially since his brother and sister have got really cool ones. But when his wish finally comes true, Dylan is mightily disappointed. For Dylan has become...Iguana Boy. He can talk to iguanas...rubbish! And when supervillain Celina Shufflebottom kidnaps all the superheroes in London, Dylan must work out how to use his new team of chatty iguanas to save the day. He's going to have to think outside the box (the pizza box) if he's going to become the hero he's always dreamed of. If he's going to make Iguana Boy cool. 

Meet Trumplestiltskin, a vain, gold-obsessed little man who will stop at nothing to become richer and richer.There's Sleeping Brainy, the princess whose only dream is to become Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the Gingerbread Kid, who escapes persecution in his home country but struggles to fit in in his new one. You won't forget the lingering stench of Mouldysocks - a boy obsessed with staring at his iPad but rather less obsessed with personal hygiene - and you'll be rooting for Rap-Unzel when she gets the chance of fame by appearing on Kingdom's Got Talent...but at what cost?

Head teacher Mrs Bottomley-Blunt thinks 4B is the worst class in the world. She says school is not about footling or fiddle-faddling or fun. It is about learning and it is high time 4B tried harder to excel at it. But best friends Stanley and Manjit didn’t literally mean to get covered in newt pond water just before the class photo. And they really didn’t literally mean to cause total mayhem by trying to get fake teeth to the very best tooth fairy. These things just happened, even though they had foolproof plans to get away with it all.
