Lucy Dungston has woken up to find all the grown-ups in her town have disappeared. Lucy´s friends are thrilled there are no more grown-ups. They´re running wild! They´re building roads of trampolines, and eating cereal for every meal.

And the upside-down world isn´t the most hygienic of places . . .

Tom Fletcher´s bestselling story is packed with amazing illustrations by the disgustingly talented Shane Devries. It´s the perfect spooky (and slightly gross) tale for Halloween!

Praise for The Creakers:

´A stonkingly good novels for the over-sevens . . . gleeful descriptions of malodorous underworld creatures, it´s both a compelling adventure and a nuanced celebration of friendship and family love´ The Guardian

´The illustrations are stunning and the storyline is full of twists and great ideas´ R Patterson, Toppsta Reviewer

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