About this book

Izzy and her friends are so excited about their school camping trip and think they are fully prepared for survival in the wild.

But when they hear strange howling at night, find deep scratch marks gouged into the trees, and spot the new teacher's incredibly hairy legs and lust for meat, they realise that something is very wrong - and there may be a dangerous (and hungry) creature lurking in their midst.

Plenty of evocative, incidental illustrations and generous use of expressive typography add to the humour and tension, as the wildest of young imaginations construct a hilarious back story to make sense of events at a secluded campsite. Joyful characterisation, short chapters and an accessible, conversational style make this a great choice for newly independent readers looking for adventure.

About the author

As a child, Pamela was lucky enough to grow up in a house full of pets, have a mum and dad who were bonkers, and go to The Best Most Awesome Primary School in the World™. As a student, Pamela's student jobs included: fishwife, teaching basketball in America, phlebotomist, and Artist Liaison for a (really bad) Abba tribute band. Now, Pamela teaches philosophy to teenagers and spends all day pondering questions such as, 'Is time travel possible?' and 'How do I know I'm not really a robot?' The stories write themselves, really…

About the illustrator

Thomas works digitally, drawing straight into his computer with his Wacom tablet, and in the old fashioned way on paper with brush and ink and drawing pens. He loves to draw and doodle. He has a very loose grip on reality, and enjoys disappearing into his own imagination in search of new characters, worlds and ideas to draw.

His work is influenced by his interest in all kinds of books, films, comics and Japanese video games. He loves Christmas and chocolate. He owns (almost) too many books.
