Overview

*Goosebumps meets Famous Five in this spooky adventure series for older children and all lovers of ghost stories.*

Joe and Eddie are intrigued by the bubbling mud pools and boiling geysers that dot the landscape around the lake where they're staying. They meet local geologist Rocky, who tells them about the cataclysmic 1886 eruption of Mt Tarawera - the volcano that casts a long shadow over their holiday cottage.

But Joe's fascination turns to unease when ghostly sightings on the lake and dark rumblings from the Earth hint that the volcano is reawakening. Can he persuade Rocky, who puts his faith only in science, to sound a warning?

Read it at night, if you dare ...
