Greta Zargo and the Amoeba Monsters from the Middle of the Earth
The second book in the kids' comedy series written by A.F. Harrold and illustrated by Joe Todd-Stanton.
Greta is an ordinary(ish) eleven-year-old orphan girl with journalistic aspirations. This weekend she's writing a big story about the Thirteenth Annual Festival of New Stuff (TAFoNS for short), hosted by her absent-minded inventor aunt... who has gone missing. Can Greta find her aunt and answer the riddle of her mysterious missingness?
In the meantime, all across the town, people are being eaten by giant amoeba monsters that have emerged from the pit at the end of Greta's garden.
And, for various complicated reasons, only Greta stands in their way...
Winner of the Teach Primary First News Funny Category 2019.
Unabashedly straddling, treading on and tripping over that fine line balanced between Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy and Goth Girl, mixed with a little family-friendly James Herbert-ish b-movie horror, Greta Zargo and the Amoeba Monsters from the Middle of the Earth is funny, odd, intelligent, daft and almost entirely unnecessary.
You can buy the real book, obviously, from many independent and high street bookshops (which are often the same thing), as well as all the usual online places, such as Hive or Bloomsbury, or as an e-book from you-know-where.
