A wildly entertaining, page-turning, enjoyably scary

story for fans of Goosebumps.

One last adventure.

Milo is determined to make his summer camping trip one to remember:

long days of playing video games in the rundown pier arcade,

eating doughnuts on Stourmouth's underwhelming beach and causing

mischief with his three best friends, Danny, Grace and Nora.

This holiday must be epic, because in two weeks, Milo's moving

house and life as he knows it will be over.

Then strange things begin to happen in Stourmouth. Milo and his

friends witness the town mayor stealing several kilos of raw chicken.

The owner of the arcade falls off the roof of the beachfront

helter-skelter while shouting about a monster under the sand.

And then something chases the friends through the secret tunnels

hidden beneath the dinosaur-themed adventure golf.

Milo is convinced an old arcade game called Worm Attack holds

all the answers. It's a shame that he can't get past level three

without being eaten by the giant killer worm.

But as the similarities between the game and real life grow, Milo's

friends start to question whether Milo's 'one last adventure'

is worth the risk.

There's something stirring beneath Stourmouth beach, and it's

hungry...

Funny, highly entertaining spooky middle grade packed with monsters

and mayhem - for kids who love a good (safe) scream! It's

Jaws meets Jumanji.

Perfect for fans of Jennifer Killick and Goosebumps

Bestselling YA thriller author Kathryn brings her trademark wit,
