Book description
Want to know a secret? There is something very, very strange living
in the trees behind my house. If you tiptoe slowwwwly and quietly
(ssh!) to the bottom of my garden, you might hear it rustling and
rootling and 'peh!'ing in the dark undergrowth, on the other side of
the low stone wall. And if you peek over the wall - holding your
breath - there's a chance you could spot two saucer-round eyes
blinking out of a strangely square opening in the tree roots . . .
Ruby and Jackson get the surprise of their lives when they discover a
Thing living at the bottom of their gardens. But Thing is cute, and
funny, even if sometimes when he's upset he gets a bit ARRGHH! And
that's when the trouble starts. Like the time he comes to school, and
Ruby and Jackson find themselves mixed up in a terrible tangle of
noodle-doodles! The second in a hilarious new series by best-selling
author Karen McCombie, illustrated throughout with irresistable black
and white line art by Alex T. Smith.
