The darkly magical new story about the monsters under the bed, from bestselling author of The Christmasaurus, Tom Fletcher. What silently waits in the shadows at night? What's under your bed, keeping just out of sight? Do you ever hear strange, creaking noises at night? Ever wonder what makes those noises? Lucy Dungston always did. Until, one morning, Lucy discovers that all the grown-ups have disappeared - as if into thin air. Chaos descends as the children in Lucy's town run riot. It's mayhem. It's madness. To most kids, it's amazing! But Lucy wants to find out the truth. Lucy lost her dad not long ago, and she's determined not to lose her mum too. She's going to get her back - and nothing is going to stop her . . . . . . except maybe the Creakers.

Tom Fletcher loves Christmas and space, Dougie Poynter loves reptiles and they have a shared obsession with poop! After writing songs together for years in the band McBusted, they write their books in the same way that they write their song lyrics.
