Hello Book Lovers!!!
The first book I have finished in November is The Creakers by Tom Fletcher. This is a children's story and I loved every minute of it!
If you don't know what The Creakers is about its about a little girl called Lucy who wakes up to find her mum has gone missing. Her dad also disappeared a few years prior to this so now Lucy is left completely on her own. When she goes outside she realises that there are lots of other children saying their parents have disappeared so they all try to work out what has happened together.
They soon discover that their are Creakers that appear under your bed in the night and so the children all think this is linked to the disappearance of their parents!
This is such a cute and imaginative children's book and the writing style is perfect for younger readers however also very humorous for older readers as well.
The characters all had their own little personalities and we got to know them all really well very quickly. This helped the character development as that was obvious through the writing. I loved Lucy and how she developed from being a little girl to (still a little girl) but a one who could now look after herself and others around her.
I also loved the Creakers and how funny they were. The scariness was there with them but you couldn't help but love them as they were also very silly and a bit dopey.
The illustrations throughout really helped bring the story to life and I highly recommend you go check out Shane Devries' work as he is an amazing artist!
The storyline itself is perfect for younger readers and would make a great bedtime story but it is also extremely funny and has some great messages throughout that older readers will get straight away. I definitely recommend this to anyone and if you've read it then feel free to let me know what you thought of it.
