The Creakers

Summary

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of The Creakers: Musical Edition by Tom Fletcher and read by Samantha Bond and Tom Fletcher.

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 fun songs that brings a new level of creepy, spooky and disgusting fun to the story, perfect for kids to listen to independently or together with a grown-up!

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
