The Creakers Paperback

If your family enjoys imagination and chaos, this is the book for your kids. It’s fun and entertaining.

Granddaughters ages 7 and 9 loved it!!!

We loved this book! This is one of those books that I looked forward to reading with my kids. It’s definitely a children’s book, but it’s written in such a way where adults can enjoy it too. Tom Fletcher is amazing with his writings. So glad to have found this gem.

Great book for middle grade readers! Full of adventure and wonderful characters/role models. Very fun to read!

I just finished reading The Creakers with my young son, and it’s delightful. It tells the tale of Wiffington and the relationship between its residents and the creatures known as the Creakers. Specifically, it focusses on the children of the town after they awake to find every grown-up has mysteriously vanished overnight. Our heroine for the story is young Lucy Dungston, who’s a worthy hero for the adventure. While many children celebrate their new freedom, Lucy attempts to solve the riddle of where their parents have gone. She takes it upon herself to keep her fellow children safe and return the grown-ups to Wiffington — no small order. With monsters under the bed, people being snatched, and a strange, backwards world called the Woleb, The Creakers tiptoes along the edge of scary for its intended audience. However, Fletcher has a wonderful sense of humor, regularly breaking the fourth wall to interact with the reader, and lightening the mood considerably. The story has great pacing, an eclectic cast of characters, and a strong dose of ridiculousness. It also features excellent illustrations throughout to help bring everything to life. My son and I both loved it — two thumbs up. The Creakers is aimed at younger readers. Due to the production quality and illustrations, I recommend the physical book rather than eBook.

My 9yo daughter loves this book. She recommends it to her friends all of the time.

Min son som är 11 gillade den här boken väldigt mycket. Tom Fletcher skriver väldigt charmigt och bra!

Lo uso principalmente para reforzar el inglés, es ameno y fácil de leer

This is one of the best books my kids & I have read together! A true page-turner; we have bought 4 more copies to gift to other families.

'The Creakers' ist eine fesselnde und originelle Geschichte, die Kinder und Eltern gleichermaßen in ihren Bann zieht. Die geheimnisvollen und manchmal gruseligen Creakers sind perfekt dargestellt, und die Abenteuer von Lucy sind sowohl spannend als auch herzerwärmend. Die Illustrationen ergänzen die Geschichte wunderbar und machen das Buch zu einem echten Vergnügen. Meine Kinder haben jede Seite verschlungen und reden immer noch darüber. Ein absolutes Highlight in unserer Büchersammlung!

Un très beau livre avec des belles illustrations, que je lis en v.o afin de m'enrichir en vocabulaire Anglais et essayer de me remettre à niveau.
