A wildly entertaining, page-turning, enjoyably scary

story for fans of Goosebumps, Gremlins, and Night at

the Museum.

When Olive and some of her year 6 friends find themselves locked

overnight inside Flatpack - a new IKEA-style superstore - they

quickly realise that they are not alone. A number of things

hitched a ride from the forest where Flatpack sources its wood

and in every dark nook, they've been multiplying...

After several of the group get themselves dragged off to who knows

where, Olive knows she was right all along - monsters

are definitely real.

After that, she's forced to face her fears and come up with a

plan:

1) rescue her friends

2) avoid being apprehended by overly efficient store employees,

3) hack into the store's delivery system and send the monsters

back where they came from.

Oh, and don't get eaten.

Whatever you do, don't look under the beds. And if you

hear a wardrobe creaking open behind you, RUN!

Funny, highly entertaining spooky middle grade packed with monsters

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

Perfect for fans of Jennifer Killick and Goosebumps

Bestselling YA thriller author Kathryn brings her trademark wit,

high energy and fiendish plotting to a younger audience.
