Blurb: Cal and Ricky both stare at the one-eyed seagull. 'You wanted food,' Ricky whispers. 'There it is.' 'A seagull? You'd eat a seagull?' 'I'd eat anything,' says Cal. 'Anything.'

When Ricky and Cal wag school they bite off more than they can chew.

Till Death Us Do Part - Wicked! Part Six (Morris Gleitzman & Paul Jennings)

Till Death Us Do Part - Wicked! Part Six

Morris Gleitzman & Paul Jennings

Blurb: Rory's tiny breaths sounded like milkshake fighting its way up a very thin straw. His eyes were closed.

'Rory,' I said. 'Don't die. Don't die.'

His eyes fell open. They flicked wildly around. 'The goat,' he shouted.

I didn't bother looking behind me. I knew there was no goat. And I knew Rory wasn't dying. Not yet.

It's WICKED! It's the end. But you'll never forget it.

The Creeper - Wicked! Part Five

Paul Jennings & Morris Gleitzman

Blurb: 'There he is,' Gramps shrieked. 'The spy. The scumbag spy.'

I looked up and saw a monstrous white hairy face disappear into the drain. I had never seen such a frightening sight. White hair covered its entire head. I couldn't even see any eyes.

In a flash Gramps splashed into the drain after it.

It's WICKED! It won't go. And it's bringing you closer to the end.

Dead Ringer - Wicked! Part Four

Morris Gleitzman & Paul Jennings

Blurb: I burst out of a clump of bushes and froze. Silhouetted against the moonlit sky were several massive shapes.

What if Eileen had infected something else? What if the hospital had cockroaches? Or bedbugs? What if the frogs weren't all dead? 

I stifled a scream.

It's WICKED! It's got you in its grip. And it's to be continued.

Blurb: 'Charge,' came Gramps' excited voice.

I gasped. The frog general was as big as a full-grown cow. He started to roll his tongue back into his mouth. He was going to slurp me up and slide me down his throat.

Thwack. The frog's tongue cracked out like a giant whip.

'Now,' I screamed to Gramps. 'Fire.'

It's WICKED how it grabs you. And it's to be continued...

Blurb: I gulped. My mouth was dry. How could I tell her? How could I just announce that her son's innards had been sucked out by giant worms and that his skin was probably flapping somewhere in the morning breeze?

I turned away, struggling to find the words...

It's WICKED!

It'll suck you in deeper. And it's to be continued...
