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 stinkerful black-and-white illustrations by the disgustingly talented Shane Devries and is perfect for kids to read 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
‘The illustrations are stunning and the storyline is full of twists and great ideas’ R Patterson, Toppsta Reviewer
‘10 out of 10 bum trumps!’ Guff the Creaker

The story is based on a girl who found a secret . That secret was that she had found another world that was under her bed. Living there were the Creakers. I liked this book because there were lots of mysterious secrets. The person I liked the best was Lucy.

I like how at the end they make a giant bed for the creakers to come and collect some rubbish that they chucked there and then they all fall asleep and Lucy never gets to see the creakers

The creakers were the best characters because they live under your bed and hate the sun!

It was a bit scary at first, then sad, then ended with a very happy ending!

Bit of a creepy story in some places but also very funny and lots of fun to read. I liked the bit when they were driving the rubbish truck and all the rubbish fell on the floor.

A fictional book about monsters under children’s beds. The Woleb is their home spelling below backwards. Sniff was my favourite character because he became the new king and he is very kind. Recommend to read.
