Description
The FREAKY comic world collides with three FEARLESS kids in an explosion of fun, action, laughs and adventure!
Simon Moss is just an ordinary boy who loves action comics and wishes he were brave enough to star in one. Mossy is a gifted storyteller though and his best friend Whippet is a prolific, imaginative artist who is also fanatical about comics, the really freaky ones. It's up to the world's coolest girl, craftiest inventor and smallest explorer - Lucy Shufflebottom - to kick the boys into gear as they hunt the mysterious shadowy beast that has kidnapped Mossy's younger sister.
Can they track down the monster? And what exactly is it, anyway?!
A magical, hilarious and highly-illustrated adventure perfect for fans of TOM GATES and DORK DIARIES
