The Diary of Dennis the Menace is a riotous diary‑style children’s series penned by Roald Dahl Funny Prize‑shortlisted author Steven Butler. Set in the cheeky world of Beanotown, these books chronicle the mischievous antics of Dennis and his dog Gnasher as they confront day‑to‑day chaos—from prank‑wars and rollercoaster mayhem to canine capers and school escapes 

Each title blends first‑person diary entries, comical illustrations, and unexpected problem‑solving, capturing Dennis’s bold, fast‑paced humour and classic Beano spirit 

Spanning seven books (2013–2016) the series offers a laugh‑out‑loud journey through school life, family, and friendship—but with a mischievous twist. Loved by fans of Horrid Henry and Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Butler’s Dennis diaries are perfect for readers aged 7+, delivering slapstick comedy and heart in equal measure.
