Leo’s determined to win the Weirdsville Dog Show this year with his scruffy mongrel, Scout. But when he finds his dead pet gerbil dug up and stuffed in a local curiosity shop, he begins an investigation which will put him and his friends in terrible danger.
Soon he uncovers a conspiracy to create a new kind of dogfood which has a monstrous effect on anything that eats it. What’s more, the inventors are prepared to do anything to keep their secrets . . .
I.M. Strange used to love scaring his sister with terrifying tales about the ghost in their attic. That was until he saw the ghost, and then the stories seemed a lot less funny. The town they lived in was quite like Weirdsville, with abandoned houses and shadowy corners for scary things to lurk in.
Luckily, I. M. Strange now lives in the countryside which feels much safer. Well, as long as he ignores the unusual sounds coming from his basement . . .
