Fred the Bogeyman and his family are quite happy with their home and their way of life until the noisy, nasty Trolls move in next door. So the only thing to do is try and scare them off--after all, that's what Bogeymen are supposed to do. But the Trolls are tougher than they first thought and before long the battle is well and truly underway.

The Bogey Men and the Trolls Next Door is an absolutely hilarious story, told in rhyme, about two of a child's worst nightmares--Bogey Men and Trolls--as they battle it out in a ridiculous fight for supremacy. Sharp and pacey, and riddled with the kind of humour that children just love,(with a few little gems for the grown-ups to enjoy along the way), this cracking little book is an ideal, light-heartedly spooky offering for children who enjoy having a story read to them, or are just starting to enjoy reading alone. Age 6 and over. --Susan Harrison
