What lurks in the shadows under the bed? The new adventure from the author of The Christmasaurus is a spine-tingling mystery that introduces readers to some rather sticky, stinky monsters.
A magical, mischievous adventure into an incredible new world, from Tom Fletcher, number-one-bestselling author of The Danger Gang and The Christmasaurus.
Lucy wakes up one morning to discover something very strange indeed. All the grown-ups in her town have disappeared.
All the other kids in Whiffington are so excited! No more grown-ups means no more school! No more bedtime! No more rules!
But Lucy wants her mum back - and nothing is going to stop her.
So - along with her friends Norman and Ella - Lucy sets off on an unbelievable adventure into a topsy-turvy, back-to-front and inside-out new world . . . The world underneath her bed. The world of . . . The Creakers!
The number one bestseller, packed with amazing illustrations by Shane Devries.
