The Gorgle

by Emma Fischel

Published 1 January 2012
Finn doesn't want to move to the spooky old house in the first place. Soon the strange goings-on and mysterious noises are driving him crazy - and he's driving his family crazy about it. Then he sees the creature that's been hibernating in the wardrobe...

It's a Gorgle. A bit like a moth, a bit like a hornet, and a lot like a ten-foot-tall monster from your worst nightmare. It's awake. It's hungry. And Finn is the only one who can stop it!

Stan is on holiday with his family at the seaside when everything starts going a bit odd. First there's the fairy - the one his brother caught. It doesn't look like a fairy. It's not twinkly. Its name is Harry, and it bites. Then, there's the sea monster. The huge one in the bay that's after Stan's little brother. The one that only Stan can see.

Can Stan find out what's going on, stop the monster, save his brother - and watch out for Harry?
