From the acclaimed author of THE EXTINCTS comes a quirky,

creepy, laugh-out-loud mystery full of carniverous plants and missing

fingers!

Orphaned Dan's new home is a crumbling castle. Here, horrible

Aunt Grusilla reigns supreme, tending to her mysterious graveyard

garden.

But why are Aunt Grusilla and her curious servants each missing

a finger - and what are the hungry 'cabbages'

in the greenhouse? As Dan struggles to solve the mystery, he encounters

a chilling question: what's the price of everlasting

life?

THE HALLOWEEDS is a brilliant blend of laugh-out-loud

funny, a little bit creepy and a twisty-turny mystery which will

leave readers guessing right up to the exciting conclusion.

Features themes of ecology, immortality and growing up.

Perfect for fans of Lemony Snicket or David Walliams!
