‘It’s hard to find the right word to express our levels of excitement around
the Oxford Roald Dahl Dictionary. Squackling? Jumpsquiffling? Gigantuous?
Roald Dahl’s inventive, playful use of language is such a key element of his writing, whether
he was using existing words in his own mischievous way or inventing extra-usual new ones. It is wonderful to have this dictionary compiled with such expertise, passion and
wit by Dr Susan Rennie and the team at OUP. There could be no more fitting way to pay tribute to Roald in the year of celebrations
for his centenary. Best of all, as a fully-functioning dictionary for readers and writers aged eight and above, I hope it serves as a swashboggling source of inspiration for a
whole new generation of storytellers.’LUKE KELLY, MANAGING DIRECTOR OF THE ROALD DAHL
LITERARY ESTATE AND ROALD DAHL’S GRANDSON

Trickster WRITTEN BY TOM MOORHOUSE
An epic animal fantasy from a highly acclaimed author.
Gabble was never sure why he did it. Or what their lives would have been if he had not . . .
This is the story of Gabble, a young rat with a wild, beloved, but unpredictable brother, Ash. Ash tricks Gabble into going out with him on a ‘name raid’, a dangerous mission normally reserved for older rats.
Gabble is drawn into a perilous adventure—crossing boundaries, fighting with enemy rat packs, and eventually being forced to confront both his brother and himself—from which no one will return unchanged.
• Exciting, adventurous, pacy story with great characters.
• Conjures up a powerful, believable, yet slightly alien, world of rats running alongside our own world.
• From a master storyteller with a fast-growing reputation.
Then he must live it.First a rat must earn his name.

Then I find the bear. She’s huge and scary, but she makes me feel . . . alive . . . and connected to this amazing place. The thing is, she needs me just as much as I need her. And I don’t know if I’m strong enough . . .

• ‘Multiple choice’ picture sequences encourage readers to decide whether Max should do something sensible, naughty, or crazy at key points in
the story.
