A door to an old waxworld. And Boy.
All things considered, things weren't going too well for Boy in Wildpool.
Not only are the police looking for him, but the worrying
Arfur Loaf is on the warpath too. He can look after himself, can
Boy, but going to Wiggott's Wonderful Waxworld to lie low for a
while might be the worst decision he's ever made. No - getting
on the Terror Train - that's the worst decision he's ever made.
Now Burke and Hare are after him as well!
All Boy has to d
is get back to his own time, escape the Terror Train and rescue
the girl . . . all before it's too late. That's enough for any boy
in one day.

spooky read for any time of year!

Sam and Arty are sure it won't be serious - stuff like this happens all the time at their school.
But then zombies (and bits of zombies) start turning up, desperate to munch on braaaaaaaiiiins! With a bunch of useless adults quickly getting themselves infected instead of sorting the situation out, Sam, Arty and their fearless friend Emmie have to take charge.
If they can't find a cure, they'll be zombie breakfast . . .
The third thrilling book in the award-winning MORTAL ENGINES quartet.
In a world removed from the huge motorized cities of MORTAL ENGINES,
Wren is desperate to escape the static city of Anchorage, and
a charming submarine pirate is ready to help her. But when she steals
a mysterious object, she ignites a conflict that could tear
the world apart.
MORTAL ENGINES launched Philip Reeve's brilliantly-imagined creation,
the world of the Traction Era, where mobile cities fight for
survival in a post-apocalyptic future. Now, in time for the film
debut, the critically acclaimed MORTAL ENGINES quartet is repackaged
with a fantastic and eye-catching cover featuring new artwork.
