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. The Christmasaurus was the biggest debut middle-grade novel of 2016 and was shortlisted for a British Book Award, since then Tom has published several more chart-topping children’s novels including The Creakers, The Christmasaurus and the Winter Witch and the instant number one bestseller The Danger Gang.

Je to výborné čítanie plné fantázie, v ktorom prím hrajú deti, ich rozhodnutia bez vplyvu dospelých, kamarátstvo medzi nimi, súdržnosť a po úvodnom nadšení, kedy zmiznú zo sveta všetci dospelí, precitnutie a snaha všetko napraviť, dojímavá záchrana ich rodičov. 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! 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. While most of the other kids run wild, Lucy’s mind gets whirring on what’s really happened, and how she can get them back.

The kids are at first quite afraid and want their moms/dads/family members, but then they find a note (so obvious, but hey they are kids) and they get to celebrating their new freedom!

Tom addresses the reader directly a lot in The Creakers, and while this is effective for most of the time, occasionally it does go overboard and gets, dare I say it, a bit waffly? His debut novel, The Christmasaurus is currently being developed by The Greatest Showman director Michael Gracey into an animated, feature-length movie with original songs written by Tom.So – along with her friends Norman and Ella – Lucy sets off on an unbelievable adventure into a topsy-turvy, back-to-front and inside-out new world . This was an endearing story about making new friends, having faith in yourself, and doing what was right. Lucy and her friends must come up with a cunning plan to rescue the grown-ups, but if the stinky Creakers have anything to do with it, it’s not going to be easy! This book will take you on an exciting journey underneath your bed and is already a bedtime favourite (for those brave enough!
