Josh was sitting the other side of George. “He's going to be a right big-head now, isn't he,” he sighed.

“Well,” said Josh. “One thing's for sure. Next year's Year 6 are going to have real trouble topping today's school trip.”
It was just gone six in the morning when the back door of Sam's house was kicked in

Finn doesn't want to move to the spooky old house in the first place. Soon the strange goings-on and mysterious noises are driving him crazy â and he's driving his family crazy about it. Then he sees the creature that's been hibernating in the wardrobeâ¦
It's a Gorgle. A bit like a moth, a bit like a hornet, and a lot like a ten-foot-tall monster from your worst nightmare. It's awake. It's hungry. And Finn is the only one who can stop it!
