La increíble historia de… la cosa más rara del mundo / Fing

Illustrated by Tony Ross
¿Y si tu hija fuera más malvada que los monstruos de los cuentos? 

Dalia tiene muy claro lo que quiere y siempre encuentra una manera de seguirlo.

Ahora lo que quiere es un DESTO...

Pero qué es? ¡Nadie sabe a lo que se refiere!.

Lo único que sus padres saben es que el DESTO aparece en la misteriosa Monstruopedia...

¿Conseguirás encontrarlo fuera de sus páginas?

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The new children’s book from No. 1 bestselling author David Walliams – a deliciously daft Tall Story of a child who had everything, but still wanted more. 

Meet the Meeks!

Myrtle Meek has everything she could possibly want. But everything isn’t enough. She wants more, moreMORE! When Myrtle declares she wants a FING, there’s only one problem… What is a FING?

Mr and Mrs Meek will do anything to keep their darling daughter happy, even visit the spooky library vaults to delve into the dusty pages of the mysterious Monsterpedia. Their desperate quest leads to the depths of the jungliest jungle where the rarest creatures can be found. But will they ever find a FING?

An explosively funny, totally surreal Tall Story about two perfectly nice parents and their unbelievably monstrous daughter from the phenomenal bestselling author David Walliams.
David Walliams nació en Londres en 1970. Desde 2008 combina su faceta de actor de comedia con la de escritor de novelas para jóvenes. Ha publicado ocho libros, con los que se ha ganado el respeto del público y la crítica especializada, convirtiéndose en el autor juvenil más vendido de los últimos años en el Reino Unido. La prensa ya lo ha bautizado como el «Roald Dahl del siglo XXI».
