What happens when all the grow-ups vanish?
Lucy wakes up one morning to discover something very strange indeed. The grown-ups in her home town, Whiffington, have vanished. All the other kids are thrilled with the freedom: no boring adults, no school, no bedtime and no rules. It is total chaos. But Lucy, who lost her dad not long ago, is missing her mum and wants her back. And nothing is going to stop her.
Lucy and her friends Norman and Ella set off on an extraordinary adventure into the topsy-turvy, back-to-front and inside-out home of The Creakers, a whole new world underneath her bed. As it turns out, the creaking sounds she’s heard under there really ARE monsters. What fun!
