Revenge of the Killer Worm by Kathryn Foxfield (author)

A wildly entertaining, page-turning, enjoyably scary story for fans of Goosebumps. One last adventure. Milo is determined to make his summer camping trip one to remember: long days of playing video games in the rundown pier arcade, eating doughnuts on Stourmouth’s underwhelming beach and causing mischief with his three best friends, Danny, Grace and Nora. This holiday must be epic, because in two weeks, Milo’s moving house and life as he knows it will be over. Then strange things begin to happen in Stourmouth. Milo and his friends witness the town mayor stealing several kilos of raw chicken. The owner of the arcade falls off the roof of the beachfront helter-skelter while shouting about a monster under the sand. And then something chases the friends through the secret tunnels hidden beneath the dinosaur-themed adventure golf. Milo is convinced an old arcade game called Worm Attack holds all the answers. It’s a shame that he can’t get past level three without being eaten by the giant killer worm. But as the similarities between the game and real life grow, Milo’s friends start to question whether Milo’s “one last adventure” is worth the risk. There’s something stirring beneath Stourmouth beach, and it’s hungry…
