Join Villains Academy by winning three hilarious books

We're giving you the chance to win a set of laugh-out-loud stories from Ryan Hammond.

The front covers of Villains Academy, Villains Academy: How to Steal a Dragon, and Villains Academy: How to Win the Gruesome Games

Villains Academy is a school like no other - it's the most prestigious villain school in the land, and you'll either leave as a fully-formed villain or in tatters!

Join werewolf Bram as he makes new friends and searches deep inside to find the villain within, faces off against teacher Felix Frostbite who plans to steal all the dragons defending the school, and takes part in the Gruesome Games, a sports day with an evil twist!

We think children will love joining Bram's adventures alongside his friends the Cereal Killers - from Sheila the ghost to Tony the skeleton, Mona the elf-witch and Bryan the lion. 

And Ryan Hammond's fantastic series is highly illustrated and packed with humour, a perfect combination for engaging young readers.

We're delighted to have three sets of three books to give away, so if you fancy winning, simply answer the question below and leave your details before the closing date of 11pm on Tuesday, 30 April. Good luck!
