Discover the weird and wonderful world of Maudlin Towers brilliantly written and illustrated throughout by Chris Priestley in this striking and funny package.
Mildew and Sponge dont think much of Maudlin Towers, the blackened, gloom-laden, gargoyle-infested monstrosity that is their school. But when a meteorite crash-lands in the school grounds, things become even stranger than they have ever been before!
Not only do a group of schoolgirls and their teacher turn up needing somewhere to stay, but further investigation of the meteorite soon proves that it might be a spaceship. Could aliens be hiding in the school grounds somewhere? (You might have spotted them already!) Plus, has anyone noticed a giant eyeball floating about the place?
Most importantly, can Mildew and Sponge save the day and the school once more?
This hugely funny, deliciously creepy and action-packed series is perfect for 8+ readers who like their mysteries with a twist. Fans of Lemony Snicket and Chris Riddell will love Maudlin Towers.

The funniest thing Ive read all year * Philip Reeve on CURSE OF THE WEREWOLF BOY * Chris Priestleys Maudlin Towers: Curse of the Werewolf Boy is a book after my own heart. It is beautifully paced, brilliantly illustrated with pen-and-ink drawings by the author and very, very funny. I cant wait for the next instalment! * Chris Riddell on CURSE OF THE WEREWOLF BOY *
