Danny Wallace’s Hamish series is a children’s adventure series that starts with Hamish and the Worldstoppers (2015). The books follow Hamish Ellerby, a boy living in the small town of Starkley who keeps running into extraordinary problems. In the first book, time periodically freezes for everyone on Earth except Hamish and a handful of other kids, and mysterious creatures called the Terribles appear during the pauses.
Each subsequent book introduces a new threat, from the Neverpeople (sinister doubles from another dimension) to the Gravity Burp (gravity stops working). The series ran for seven books through 2019, with Wallace balancing humor, action, and enough weirdness to keep young readers turning pages. The books are aimed at middle-grade readers and have an energetic, slightly chaotic style that matches their plots.
