Stranger Things meets Invasion of the Body Snatchers in this thrilling sci-fi adventure with an ecological twist.

Something sinister is happening in Crooked Oak …

Ever since the fracking site closed, Nancy’s parents have been acting weird. Their eyes are blank, they won’t eat – it’s like they’re no longer themselves. And now the symptoms are affecting others as well …

Nancy and her friends Pete and Krish are determined to find out what’s going on. But the deeper they dig, the scarier the mystery gets. A dark presence is spreading its tendrils across Crooked Oak. Can they stop it before it takes over the whole town?

Particularly suitable for readers aged 9+ with a reading age of 8.

MEDIA REVIEWS

"A fast paced sci-fi adventure … The children I read this book to absolutely loved it – and moaned for more at the end of each session as I finished. This was a definite hit!" – Books for Topics "Fast-paced and sinister … will have readers on the edge of their seats" "An unputdownable romp … I read this in a single, breathless sitting" – The Letterpress Project "A tremendously fun, weird and pacy read … feels like a magnificent episode of the Twilight Zone or Doctor Who – one that stays with you for being so eerily strange it gives you goosebumps" – Chris Soul

“Splendidly Spooky”

A fantastically chilling adventure from Dan Smith. The spooky vibe from the very beginning did not let up, with countless horror film and book references creeping in too.
Delightfully disturbing!
