New for 2023, a funny young horror adventure 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.

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

just the right kind of scary for this age group.”
