Number Nine Downing Street
(2025)(The first book in the Number Nine Downing Street series)
A novel by Andrew Shanahan
What if your parents exploded and then things got really weird?
The Butte children have just inherited Number Nine Downing Street - the house right next door to the Prime Minister’s. Unfortunately, life there is far from peaceful. Between unexpected visitors, bizarre scandals, and some very suspicious cakes, the Buttes soon find themselves caught up in a whirlwind of power, chaos and crows.
Perfect for fans of A Series of Unfortunate Events and The Thick of It, this laugh-out-loud adventure blends sharp British humour with outrageous twists, as the Buttes discover that living next to the heart of government is anything but boring.
"It's like someone mixed A Series of Unfortunate Events with The Thick Of It, and we're not sure why they did but we're very glad it happened."
"Proper laugh-out-loud, bonkers funny and such a great story." Comedy Club 4 Kids
"This book has politics, silliness and laughter. Are there three better things?" Simple Politics
If you love funny, fast-paced, and slightly ridiculous stories with a dash of learning about politics, you’ll adore Number Nine Downing Street.
Genre: Children's Fiction
