It’s the first teatime of the summer holidays, and things have already started to go wrong for Jake Starling. When Jake’s mum signs him up for a super boring reading competition, he’s convinced that his summer holiday is definitely ruined.

But a mysterious trip to the library leads to a bonkers magical adventure, where Jake meets a very strange new friend, in a very, very unusual place. A warm summer evening turns into an exciting race against time, when Jake and his friends encounter a vile creature known as The Nefarious Glub!

If you’re reading this, then well done! You have found a brilliant book and you should definitely read it! But be warned: if you enjoy sensible stories about princes and princesses and puppies and kittens, this isn’t the book for you. ‘Jake and the Nefarious Glub’ is full of all sorts of gross and yucky things, and might make you laugh so much that some snot comes out of your nose. Don’t say you weren’t warned...
