THE TIMES CHILDREN’S BOOK OF THE WEEK

Welcome to SHIVER POINT, home of spooks, screams and small-town horror! Enter if you dare…

Shiver Point is boring. Nothing interesting ever happens there and there’s never anything fun to do. At least that’s what Alex has always thought. Until one night, in the dead dark, he spots what looks like a meteorite plummeting into Howlmoor Forest.

Intrigued, Alex goes to investigate. But little does he know, four other kids have also spotted the strange streak in the sky: ‘troublemaker’ Oli, studious Sophia, curious Mo and budding engineer Riley. What they discover is far beyond their wildest dreams – in fact it belongs in their nightmares. Can the gang work together to save the town from the bloodthirsty bodysnatcher that’s arrived with the meteorite before it’s too late?

One thing’s for sure: Shiver Point will never be the same again.

Packed with chills and thrills, SHIVER POINT is a hair-raising new horror series for readers aged 9-12, perfect for fans of GOOSEBUMPS and DREAD WOOD.

Publisher Review

I loved this creepy, gross, exciting, slug-infested tale. Perfectly pitched horror to make 9-12s squirms as they feverishly turn the pages! * SJ Wills, author of BITE RISK * Think Stranger Things meets The Goonies with super creepy killer slugs. The ultimate chiller thriller series for 9-year-olds. * The School Reading List * A creepy delight! Perfect for young horror fans and adults who crave some fun scares and excellent horror references. * Amy McCaw, Author of MINA AND THE UNDEAD *
