Where the Bugaboo Lives: An Interactive Adventure

Author: Sean TaylorIllustrator: Neal Layton

Taylor and Layton offer fantastic value for money in this wonderfully produced interactive storybook with countless routes to read it. Floyd and Ruby have to venture into the dark valley to retrieve their ball but that’s just where all the terrible creatures live. Worst of all is the  Bugaboo. The children come face to face with all manner of scary things but Ruby has a clever retort for each of them. That is, until she  comes face to face with the Bugaboo himself! Ruby is all out of answers, but can Floyd shine in his sister’s moment of peril?

This big, brilliant format will delight youngsters and their nostalgic parents in this choose your own adventure style story – after each  terrifying encounter the reader must decide on the next direction and turn to the corresponding page to continue their journey. The monsters are mad, the illustrations are fantastic and the book will be browsed again and again to find out which twists and turns can be taken next. Great fun indeed!
