New for 2023, a funny, scary, sci-fi thriller from the author of Crater Lake. Perfect for kids aged 9-12 and fans of Stranger Things and Goosebumps!
Jennifer Killick is the author of Crater Lake, the Alex Sparrow series, and middle-grade sci-fi adventure Mo, Lottie and the Junkers. She regularly visits schools and festivals, and her books have three times been selected for The Reading Agency's Summer Reading Challenge. She lives in Uxbridge, in a house full of children, animals and Lego. When she isn't busy mothering or step-mothering (which isn't often) she loves to read, write and run, as fast as she can.

new adventure in a series that has set the standard for
comedy-horror.’ Scope for Imagination

comedy-horror, perfectly pitched for eight-plus.”

unexpectedly moving ending.”The i, 30 of the best children’s books

M.G. Leonard, author of Adventures on Trains series “Sharp, scary
and a whole lot of fun!”

great use of her talent for comic dialogue and her astute eye for
just the right kind of scary for this age group.”
