Here's a middle-grade series that will have you biting your nails and tapping your foot from the tension! From the brilliant Jennifer Killick, this series is perfect for 9+ fans of Goosebumps and Stranger Things.
In each book in the wildly successful Dread Wood series, main character Angelo and his friends must handle all sorts of weird and wild creatures that take over – from giant mutant spiders and snake-like parasites that burrow into your brain, to giant vampire birds that want blood and huge sea monsters from the depths of the ocean. Club Loser find themselves saving each other, their classmates and their families time and time again from the supernatural creatures that threaten the whole of humanity.
These books have friendship, action and adventure, but beware: it's one of our top truly scary books for kids.
