What to expect
The perfect summer read for fans of Terry Pratchett, David Walliams and Roald Dahl!
When her grandparents explode in their caravan toilet late one night, twelve-year-old Harley discovers a surprising truth: their toilet is a gateway to the Land of the Dead, and they are its Guardians. Well, they were. But there’s no time to mourn their passing. Because Harley’s baby brother has accidentally gone with them to the Land of the Dead. And Harley only has 24 hours to rescue him before he’s trapped there FOREVER!
This hilarious and heartbreaking debut features exploding grandparents, unexpected heroes and a truly EPIC adventure.
Critics Review
‘This is a book that combines the mundane with the otherworldly and the high stakes of a brilliant adventure story, all laced with an unapologetic light-hearted humour. . . With the beautiful, fitting and scene-setting black and white illustrations by Olia Muza, an endlessly funny protagonist and role model, and a mature discussion on more serious themes like familial relationships and handling the concept of death over the course of the book, it is exactly the kind of story I gravitated to when I was younger, and that still has a distinct charm today.’ The National
