Synopsis

Mega-bestselling author Aaron Blabey, creator of The Bad Guys, is back!

Listen out for the frantic bubbling of aggressive fighting fish and the heavy thuds of Bonehead the bull terrier leaping into a monster truck. This program features multicast narration and an immersive audio experience, fully sound designed to enhance your enjoyment.

OK, here’s the situation:

Thanks to a diabolical intergalactic game show, we are all cooked.

Luckily, Griff, an 11-year-old kid with innumerable allergies, just got told by a talking axolotl named Bob that Griff is the only one who can save us.

I mean, that’s kind of good news, right?

Trouble is, Bob’s prophecy comes with a warning: “Watch your back, man…your PETS are not what they seem…”

Prepare to have your mind blown and your cats and dogs under heavy suspicion. It’s time to buckle up for an insane, laugh-out-loud new series, 260 million years in the making.

A Macmillan Audio production from Odd Dot Books
