However the compelling fitness of theme and event and the apt but unexpected imagery (the opening sentences compare the first week in August when this takes place to "the highest seat of a Ferris wheel when it pauses in its turning") help to justify the extravagant early assertion that had the secret about to be revealed been known at the time of the action, the very earth "would have trembled on its axis like a beetle on a pin." Then there are illustrations all over the book, and boy, the style is just wonderful and fun. I have to keep an eye on this illustrator, I want to see more of their work. All the other kids in Whiffington are so excited! No more grown-ups means no more school! No more bedtime! No more rules! Woleb, or should we just call it Below, was a fun and interesting place. Sure, also disgusting as hell, but eh. :P I liked the way it worked, how it hid stuff and randomly made new place and hallways. I wasn't surprised at where the adults resided that is a pretty fitting place, plus that way they won't be able to resist much. Wat is er eigenlijk met die ouders gebeurd? Lucy is de enige die samen met Kees op zoek gaat naar hen. Kees die eigenlijk geen vrienden heeft, wordt gaandeweg in het verhaal een goeie vriend van Lucy.

Just like The Christmasaurus, this novel is a fun and entertaining children's novel that is sure to make many kids all over the world peek under their beds in search for the Creakers themselves. Lucy reminds me a lot of myself when I was that age, although I do believe she's a tad bit braver than me, and the side characters that also show up are equally entertaining. I did laugh out loud when two kids named Buzz and Buddy had taken their dad's car out for a drive (if you didn't know, Buzz and Buddy are Tom Fletcher's kids... and now you know what he suspects they would do if him and his wife ever disappeared) - and you'll also, briefly, meet the kids from The Christmasaurus, so the stories seem to be set in the same universe. Sort of.Make a timetable showing the activities that you would try if you woke up and there were no grown-ups for a day. Use this to make up some word problems to challenge others.

I could probably talk a bit longer about the book, but I think I mentioned all the important bits! I would recommend this book to all looking for a fun monster and garbage-filled book! As well as his career as an author, by the age of 21, Tom had penned 10 UK number 1 singles and is the founding member of the band McFLY. The Brit Award-winning band has sold over 10 million records worldwide and Tom has also written songs for other artists including One Direction, Busted and 5SOS. Het boek is geïllustreerd door Shane Devries. Prachtige potloodtekeningen vullen dit prachtige boekje. Norman was a pretty OK character, yes, I found him slightly annoying with his constant scout stuff, but I still liked how he was, along with Lucy, one of the kids who didn't go full crazy with all the freedom. The author uses lots of different words instead of said (e.g. growled, burbled, shrieked, squealed). Can you make a collection of them to use in your own writing?Now it's not very nice to use little girls as live bait to catch monsters, but, if you do ever have to, then it's always best to use an annoying little sprog like Ella, just in case they do actually end up getting snatched. I did feel that it was a bit odd that only Lucy and her friend Norman seemed to be responsible kids. I'm quite sure there would be others as well - and it would have been interesting to see their take on how to solve the problem. I also would have liked a bit more mystery regarding Lucy's father. I felt like I solved that way too soon - but that might be because I'm an adult and, well, this is a children's story.
