Brilliantly illustrated by Neal Layton, this is an interactive, which-way adventure for 6 – 9 year olds which can be read again and again. Floyd asks his older sister why they can’t play down in the valley. She explains that scary things live there, and the scariest of all is THE BUGABOO! But when Floyd’s ball rolls into the valley the pair pluck up courage to go after it. So they find themselves among all sorts of  creepy and freaky creatures. At each stage the reader chooses which path to take and what dangers to overcome…though, in the end, all paths lead only to one thing!

The big, brilliant format will delight youngsters and their nostalgic parents in this choose your own adventure style story… The monsters are mad, the illustrations are fantastic and the book will be browsed again and again to find out which twists and turns can be taken next. Great fun indeed!’ Books for Keeps

I foresee family fights ensuing over this book and one copy in a classroom will definitely not be enough to cope with the demand.
