If you’re after a festive read with a twist, look no further…,

“When Masen, Conor and Joss wake up in the caravan on Christmas morning, a chill of unease fills the air. Their presents sit untouched in the house across the way, but their parents are nowhere to be found. Outside, a blizzard rages.

Families don’t just vanish on Christmas Day.

Something is very wrong – but what . . .?”

I absolutely loved this! I have never read anything like it before. The festive setting somehow made the looming threat even more menacing!

What starts off as a festive family holiday soon deteriorates into an apocalyptic nightmare with adults turning into zombie-like creatures set on following the pack. Inspired in part by ‘The Day of the Triffids,’ it would seem that a mysterious plant is at the root of the problem.

The tension slowly ratchets up page by page as Masen slowly starts to question what’s going on around him and uncovers the truth….

Nail-biting stuff and definitely one I think upper Key Stage 2 children (and beyond) will love!
