The Creeper, by Pete Johnson

"I am bringing you face to face with the King of Terror. I dare not say his name aloud. Come a little closer and I shall whisper it to you: The Creeper."

What if you had done something terrible, something almost unforgivable, to your best friend and now you were racked with guilt? Lucy not only has to struggle with her conscience, but has to face The Creeper, a ghostly avenger who spies on wrong-doers.

A new tale of menace and imagination from the author of the award-winning The Ghost Dog.

The Bookseller

"Children will devour this title, but will close the final pages with more than a little food for thought."                                 Jonathan Weir,  Amazon

"When I was nine I never liked books much, but since the beginning of Year 6 when I read The Creeper, I enjoyed it so much it made me read all the other books you wrote. I even spent all my pocket money buying your books!"
Lee, Blackpool

‘Well-written, and it is easy to understand why Pete Johnson is such a popular author with children and teenagers. While Johnson’s books are a good read, I think they are appealing to reluctant readers because of their pace and content. It is a good class novel for the teacher to read to all the children, and can be used as a starting point for such topics as fear and friendship.’
Cindy Shanks, Helium review
