Return to Little Cemetery

Julian Middleton

Sinossi

School’s back in session and this term, classes at Grisley Manor include Eyeball Extraction, Nightmare Execution, and Advanced Grave Digging. There’s a guillotine in the playground and the teachers are literally dying to meet their students.
 
When Tom and Pete stumble upon a thunderstorm grave-crawl and a talking pit in the cellar known as the Mouth of Hell, they realize something far worse than bad grades is brewing. The staff are long-dead asylum inmates, the townspeople are vanishing, and the school is summoning students at midnight.
 
Together with the ever-grumpy Mr Block, Tom and Pete must silence the Mouth, outwit a doppelgänger army and survive nightmare-fueled chaos before Little Cemetery becomes a ghost town.... permanently.
 
Grisley Manor is open, the dead are restless, and detention is forever.

Jason Cook

An old enemy returns to pursue a vicious vendetta against Wrecker the Weasel and the Rotten Shed Gang in ‘Wrecker the Weasel and the Watermill Plot’, the second adventure of the British countryside’s most notorious egg thieves! Expect rollicking adventure, humour, and touching comradeship as the hapless smugglers do their best to outsmart the plans of the psychotic fox, Mandrake.    Against the background of a summer heatwave, Mandrake and his foxes set out to ruin Wrecker’s egg-smuggling operations, destroying birds’ nests, stealing eggs, and holding water sources to ransom. Before long Mandrake allies with sinister underworld figures in London in a bid to crush Wrecker’s supporters in the city. Facing the loss of his business, his gang, his friends, and ultimately his life, Wrecker must hope for a miracle of deliverance. Strangely, the ghost of an opportunity becomes apparent at the old watermill, and in the millpond which sits directly above Mandrake’s countryside headquarters. A well-engineered flood couldn’t possibly be the answer to Wrecker’s problems… could it?
