The Creakers by Tom Fletcher
4.0
I rate this 4.8/5 stars
I suppose most of you already know that I've been wanting to read Fletcher's works in a while. I finally got what I wanted. I really enjoyed reading this. I am a 22-year-old, reading a middle grade book and I can honestly say that I was borderline terrified by the idea of disappearing parents.
As a child you might find this highly enjoyable, not having parents to tell you what to do and all that boring stuff but speaking as an adult (sort of), I think it is pretty scary. It's like losing your parents at a really huge supermarket, except this time, you lose everyone in the supermarket and have the eeriness of Neil Gaiman's storylines with Roald Dahl's cheerful narration.
I especially love the wonderful illustrations by Shane Devries. They really brought the characters to life, making things simultaneously more enjoyable and scarier. Just imagine yourself doing the laugh-cry expression and you'll get the whole idea of how the book's going to make you feel (if you're an adult).
