Product Description

When Quinn and some of her Year 6 friends find themselves locked overnight inside FlatpackÑa new IKEA-style superstoreÑthey quickly realise that they are not alone. A number of things hitched a ride from the forest where Flatpack sources its wood and in every dark nook, they've been multiplying. After several of the group get themselves dragged off to who knows where, Quinn knows she was right all alongÑmonsters are definitely real. After that, she's forced to face her fears and come up with a plan: 1) rescue her friends, 2) avoid being apprehended by overly efficient store employees, and 3) hack into the store's delivery system and send the monsters back where they came from. Oh, and don't get eaten. Whatever you do, don't look under the beds. And if you hear a wardrobe creaking open behind you, Run!

    Olive's parents have bought a wardrobe from Flatpack that Olive and her friend Ada believe is haunted. After Olive's parents return it to Flatpack, Ada comes up with a plan to get herself and another friend locked into Flatpack so that they can investigate. Olive isn't keen on this idea at all, but her new friends Emily and Jack are determined to have a fun and daring night out as well. She finds herself coming along for the ride, which entails more than just finding monsters. Several Flatpack workers are stealing stock from the store, and they will stop at nothing to silence the children. An enjoyable story with captivating characters.
