Summary

Conan swallowed hard. The creature stood taller than the archway, a silhouette of darkness against the spiral of light behind it … And it looked directly at him.
Jack and Conan's friendship is officially dead. Stuck in detention with Yash and Jerry after an all-out brawl in the toilet, it's a terrible start to sixth class. And that's before they witness a monstrous beast step out of a portal outside their school. When it wanders into the crumbling mansion across the road, where the sinister Mr Kilroe lives, the boys follow. They have to investigate, right?
Unlocking Mr Kilroe's secrets is only the beginning. Because there's more than one otherworldly horror hiding in that house and confronting it will put Jack and Conan in mortal danger – that's if they don't kill each other first!
Available since: 03/03/2025.

    Three crazy, funny stories, featuring the two clumsiest talking mice you’ll ever meet… 
‘The mouse started to trundle away, glancing at Howard over its shoulder, nervously. “You may well glance at me nervously," said Howard, picking up an empty water glass and placing it over the mouse. "You'll stay in there so I can eat my breakfast in peace. I shall deal with you afterwards…”’ 
But you can't really deal with the Clumsies, afterwards or at any time. Once you've got them, you're stuck with them. From the moment when Howard Armitage first finds two talking mice under his desk – the inimitable and hilarious Purvis and Mickey Thompson – his life, and his belongings, are turned forever upside down. 
Obsessed with biscuits and forever playing incomprehensible games of their own devising, the Clumsies are not your average mice – and though they're desperate to help Howard get out of trouble with his evil boss, they're only really good for one thing… 
…making a mess. 
In the realm of juvenile fiction, The Clumsies Make a Mess stands out as a top choice. The book's unique blend of humour, animals, and mischief makes it a bestseller among kids. 
For fans of Dav Pilkey (Dog Man), Andy Griffiths (The 117-Storey Treehouse), Andy Shepherd (The Boy Who Lived with Dragons), Jamie Smart (Doctor Who), and Jeff Kinney (Diary of a Wimpy Kid).
