“My book is about all the naughty things that my brother Charlie has done. Some of it happened ages ago, some of it happened just last week. Some of it is funny, some of it is a bit sad, and lots of it is disgusting, because that’s what Charlie can be. It might even make you be sick, so get ready.”

Cheeky Charlie isn’t really naughty, and he definitely isn’t horrid. He’s just a curious small boy who draws, eats and climbs his way into trouble, pursued by his weary parents. Charlie's big sister is your unreliable story-teller as we follow the trail of havoc around the soft play, hospital ward, budget airline and more.

If you’re looking for feel-good, laugh-out-loud stories to read with your child, or a book to get a reluctant reader up and running, this is it.

”Sweet and funny short stories about a naughty-but-nice little boy. Perfect for sharing or for emerging and newly confident readers to snigger at alone.” The Book Bag

”Cheeky Charlie is cleverly written, witty and funny… it has a lovely conversational flow which makes it a delight to either read, or listen to. The Brick Castle
