This book is enjoying a re-release with a new publisher (Wacky Bee Books) and a new name (formerly Douglas Trump.)
It tells the tale of Dougal, who fears he’s risking death whenever he goes in the garden due to a strange and mysterious creature supposed to be dwelling in his garden shed. However, his family don’t believe him (due to his slightly over-active imagination.)
Just in case, Dougal decides to write his last will and testament, ensuring that all those who are nice to him get the nicest things. He also goes so far as to plan his own football-themed funeral!
Luckily for Dougal, there’s still plenty of time left for him to enjoy playing football and get into all kinds of other scrapes. Although, obviously, none of them are his fault!
Perfect for readers aged 7+
