Kid’s Book Club: Megalomaniacs: The Invasion Begins! (For ages 7+)

Join Nicci at Happy Reading Children’s Bookshop for a laugh-out-loud Kid’s Book Club celebrating Megalomaniacs: The Invasion Begins! — a wildly funny, action-packed comic adventure from multi-million-selling creator Jamie Smart, Illustrator of the Year!

…When a group of hilariously chaotic supervillains set their sights on world domination, things don’t exactly go to plan…

Meet the Megalomaniacs — a team of BIG personalities with even BIGGER (and very questionable!) plans! But between their squabbling, spectacularly silly schemes, and total lack of teamwork, their mission to take over the world might just be doomed from the start…

Bursting with high-energy comic panels, outrageous humour, and non-stop action, this is a story that will have readers laughing out loud from start to finish!

Perfect for fans of Bunny vs Monkey and children who love graphic novels, visual storytelling, and brilliantly bonkers fun!

Each child will enjoy:
✨ A read-along with Nicci
✨ Book-inspired activities perfect for imaginative, comic-loving creators
— and every child takes home their own copy of the book to keep!
