About this book

The reader is thrust right into the middle of the action in this wacky adventure as they join You and Me on a journey to the centre of the Earth. After falling down an extremely deep hole You and Me stumble upon the lair of the Peanut Butter Beast. While trying to escape the hungry beast they fall down yet another hole leading to the centre of the Earth where they meet their friends the Knuckleheads. 

You, Me, the Knuckleheads and a few other friends they’ve made along the way work together to bring the beast to the surface so they can make it the star of a sensational show. But is a Peanut Butter Beast really supposed to live on the surface? It soon becomes clear that there are going to be chaotic consequences for taking the beast so far from home. Will You and Me be able to stop the beast’s rampage before it’s too late? 

This book has a unique format written in second person narrative and in places is so highly illustrated that some pages contain hardly any text, making it brilliant for reluctant readers. A hilarious romp filled with energy and entertaining characters; the unpredictable nature keeps readers hooked to find out what will happen next!
