Description
Discover the world of Below London, where causing a ruckus is the best thing you can do!
When notorious troublemaker Rayleigh Mann sneaks out to go trick-or-treating on Halloween, he gets more than he bargained for - in the form of a monster straight out of his nana's stories.
The weirdest thing though? The monster tells Rayleigh that the father he never knew is actually the Bogey Mann, the most terrifying of all monsters, the Supreme Scarer himself. And there's more - Bogey is missing and Rayleigh is the only one who can find him.
But to do so, Rayleigh must travel to Bogey's world, Below London... There Rayleigh's penchant for tricks might just help him survive an adventure straight out of his wildest dreams - or perhaps his most terrifying nightmares.
A wonderfully monstrous fantasy adventure for readers aged 9-12 and fans of AMARI, NEVERMOOR and THE MARVELLERS!
A Note From the Publisher

Featuring magical cities, found family, initiation trials, and monstrous (and not-so-monstrous!) monsters.
Perfect for fans of AMARI, NEVERMOOR, SKULLDUGGERY PLEASANT and THE MARVELLERS!

Featured Reviews
Madison P, Reviewer
I was given an ARC copy of this book, in exchange for an honest review. Thanks to Netgalley, Bonnier Books UK and Piccadilly Press.
Rayleigh's world is turned upside down almost instantly on All Hallow's Eve, when he learns about who his father really is. From there, the book follows him on his journey through London-Below, and the challenges he faces there.
This book has a really diverse cast of characters, and some brilliant characterisation. An entertaining read, and one that was perfectly paced - I found it hard to put down. The twists and turns were great, and the final reveal was not was I was expecting at all.
I loved this book, and cannot wait to see what comes next. I'd recommend this to anyone who enjoys an urban fantasy, especially younger readers!
