Perfect for fans of David Walliams, Roald Dahl and Liz Pichon, this is a hilarious, warm-hearted story about family, friends and wrestling by Carnegie Medal shortlisted author Phil Earle and illustrated by Waterstones Children's Book Prize shortlisted artist, Sara Ogilvie.
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...
Phil Earle's first novel for younger readers of 8-11, DEMOLITION DAD is DANNY THE CHAMPION OF THE WORLD in Spandex, a book bursting with humour and heart.
