The Creakers Tom Fletcher 9780141388762 [USED COPY]

What would you do if you woke up to find all the grown-ups had disappeared?

If you're like Lucy Dungston, you'll do anything to get to the bottom of it.

With no grown-ups, chaos descends on Lucy's town. Kids are running wild, building roads of trampolines and eating cereal for every meal - but Lucy wants her mum back, and nothing is going to stop her.

Not even the monsters who live in the upside-down world beneath her bed...

Tom Fletcher's bestselling story is packed with stinkerful black-and-white illustrations by the disgustingly talented Shane Devries and is perfect for kids to read independently or together with a grown-up!

'10 out of 10 bum trumps!' Guff the Creaker

The magical new story about the monsters under the bed, from bestselling author of The Christmasaurus, Tom Fletcher.
