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.

Praise for The Creakers:

‘Stonkingly good . . . A compelling adventure and a nuanced celebration of friendship and family love’ The Guardian

I would recommend it because it is scary and funny and my favourite part is when at the end they all learnt to live together.

I started and finished this book on one day, a great adventure story and what if the children of my town wake up with no adults tonight?!

My favourite character was Scratch as he’s really funny and always grumpy. I would recommend this book as it’s really exciting and I liked it when Lucy was trying to save the Creakers from the sunlight.

It kinda just got boring and it was predictable. I liked the mystery in it.

After reading this book I noticed that everyone has different families and different appearance but it doesn't mean we have to destroy each other. We can live in different ways but it doesn't mean we have to hate each other so we can live together peacefully and happily

My book was fiction and my favourite character was called Lucy. Lucy is my favourite because she is brave and kind and stands up for herself. I would recommend this book to my mum because I think she would really enjoy it.

This book was interesting. Trouble came around the corner and but past in seconds and ended happily ever after. I would recommend this book for highly trained readers as some of the words are a bit tricky
