David Walliamsin "Keskiyön jengi" (Tammi, 2020) täytyi ottaa kesäiselle lukulistalle, sillä jos hyvä tuuri kävisi, saattaisi kirjasta osoittautua samanlaiseksi täysosumaksi kuin vanhat ja monikäyttöiset vinkkaussuosikit Gangsterimummi (2016) ja Poika ja mekko (2015).

It’s like doing the crossword!” “Charper!” “Tom Charper!” said the man, scribbling it down on the form. “That’s question one done.

The story follows a boy called Thomas "Tom" Charper going to a cruel hospital and joining a "midnight gang" consisting of the facility's other children.

Oh no! Now the form’s wet!” he exclaimed. He then began blowing on the form to try and dry it. This made the boy laugh. “Oh good!” said the man. “You are smiling! Now, look, I am sure we can find out your name. Does it begin with an A?” The boy was pretty sure it didn’t. “I don’t think so.” “B?” The boy shook his head. “C?” He shook his head again. “This could take some time,” muttered the doctor under his breath. “T!” exclaimed the boy. “You would like a cup of tea?” “No! My name. It begins with a T!” Doctor Luppers smiled as he wrote the first letter on the top of the form. “Let’s see if I can guess. Tim? Ted? Terry? Tony? Theo?” Full to the brim with heart-warming characters and witty humour, The Midnight Gang is sure to be a Walliams classic.
