When a little boy’s ball disappears down a mysterious hole in the garden, he can’t stop thinking about what could be down there – a little mouse’s house? The lair of a hungry troll? Or maybe even a dragon’s den. Whatever it may be, he’s determined to find out!

The Something is a glorious, imaginative adventure from Rebecca Cobb, the award-winning creator of Aunt Amelia and Lunchtime, and the illustrator of The Paper Dolls, written by Julia Donaldson.

It was funny because they thought “something” was only one thing but it was everything they said it was.
