About this listen

Stranger Things meets Invasion of the Body Snatchers in this fast-paced, horror adventure with an ecological twist.

Something sinister is happening in Crooked Oak …

Ever since the fracking site closed, Nancy’s parents have been acting weird. Their eyes are blank, they won’t eat – it’s like they’re no longer themselves. And now the symptoms are affecting others as well …

Nancy and her friends Pete and Krish are determined to find out what’s going on. But the deeper they dig, the scarier the mystery gets. A dark presence is spreading its tendrils across Crooked Oak. Can they stop it before it takes over the whole town?

Critic Reviews

"A fast paced sci-fi adventure … The children I read this book to absolutely loved it – and moaned for more at the end of each session as I finished. This was a definite hit!" – Books for Topics

"Fast-paced and sinister … will have readers on the edge of their seats" – LoveReading4Kids

"An unputdownable romp … I read this in a single, breathless sitting" – The Letterpress Project

"A tremendously fun, weird and pacy read … feels like a magnificent episode of the Twilight Zone or Doctor Who – one that stays with you for being so eerily strange it gives you goosebumps" – Chris Soul
