About this book

One day, Danny has to take his cousin, the annoying Inaaya, along to help his grandad in his workshop. When they get there, Grandad lurches out of a battered locker in pain. Grandad gives Danny his watch, raves about ‘many worlds’ and makes him promise to look after them. Danny agrees because he feels it’s his fault that Grandad’s ill. The next day, Danny and his friend Modge somehow fall through the locker into a Lost Property Office. One that has alien items in it. And a squid on a segway telling them what to do! And a link to multidimensions! Grandad was keeping secrets from Danny!

With a lot of alien property to return, and a cute monster that Modge insists on adopting, the boys know they need Inaaya’s help. She’s very brainy, and can understand the complicated manuals. Soon, they’re whizzing about the dimensions returning creatures and only feeling a little bit sick afterwards. But when they uncover an evil plot to take over all the dimensions, they know everything rests on them. Can Danny keep his promise to Grandad?

 An exciting adventure with some excellent character interaction. Inventive and full of humour, this also has fantastic illustrations throughout.

About the author

Lorraine Gregory was raised on a council estate in east London by an Austrian mother and an Indian father. Her love of reading and wild imagination led to years of making up stories but none of them made it to the page until she began writing them down for her son.

Her debut children's novel, Mold and the Poison Plot, was released in 2017 and won the SCBWI Crystal Kite award for UK and Ireland in 2018. Her second book, The Maker of Monsters, will be published in May 2019. Both fantasy adventures have strong themes of diversity, inclusivity and friendship tucked within the pages. Lorraine is also part of the duo who set up and run the popular bi-monthly #ukmgchat on Twitter, which allows authors, agents, publishers and general book lovers the opportunity to discuss the joy of children's books in detail. She lives in Loughton, Essex
