Synopsis

Read and sing-along with Tom Fletcher's number one bestselling story of the monsters under your bed...

*Includes exclusive CD with 10 brilliant brand-new songs written and performed by Tom Fletcher, including features from Chapter 13, Carrie Hope Fletcher and the Creakers themselves... *

Imagine waking up to discover that all the grown-ups in your town have disappeared.

Well, that's what happens to Lucy Dungston.

Lucy's friends can't believe their luck. But while they're running wild, Lucy's making a plan. Because Lucy wants her mum back - and nothing's going to stop her.

Even if it means journeying into the strange, upside-down world of the mysterious monsters under her bed...

Packed with amazing illustrations from the disgustingly talented Shane Devries, The Creakers: The Musical Edition includes 10 exclusive new songs on CD, all written and performed by Tom Fletcher, accompanied by a full orchestra.

Throughout the book you'll find prompts telling you which track to listen to as you read the story, and all the lyrics, so you can sing along too!
