Night Zoo Keeper Will and his friends Riya and Sam, the young giraffe, face more adventures in the latest in this action-packed series. To escape a Void, one of the robot spiders used by evil Lord Nulth to spread fear through the Night Zoo, the three of them have to hitch a ride on a seaplane, flown by a lioness. They’re not out of danger though, especially when they discover that, on the other side of the lake, the animals urgently need their help. It takes all Will’s courage to stand up to the Void but, with his friends at his side and conscious of how much the animals are depending on him, he finds the necessary strength. These fast-paced stories combine excitement, friendship and humour (Sam the giraffe loves a knock-knock joke) in thoroughly satisfying stories.
Readers will be more than ready to jump through the portal into the next instalment at the book’s end, while as an added bonus, they’re encouraged to write their own adventure stories with pages of tips and useful prompts.

"This is a delightfully original and amusing story, with characters who feel contemporary in a classic adventure setting. It also has a very relevant message about the importance of imagination. Readers aged as young as six are likely to enjoy having this read to them, and older children will enjoy reading it independently." The Book Trust

A Q&A with Head Night Zookeeper, Joshua Davidson
1) Head Night Zookeeper is one of the best job titles we’ve ever heard, what does it entail?
If I told you, I doubt you would believe me. Let's just say, not all animals spend their lives eating, drinking and sleeping. The animals in my zoo also like to play games, solve riddles and design clothes. I'm very lucky because I get to live and work in a place as infinite as the imagination of a child. Their ideas make me smile and laugh at the unexpected every day.
2) The Night Zoo is a really magical place we love to inhabit, how did you create the world?
I stumbled upon the world much like Will does in the story. Whereas he was painting a purple elephant on the wall of his local zoo as part of a school project, I was just sketching in my notebook, but the world opened up to me in much the same way. Of course, I had to spend a long time exploring the world to fully understand it, but I have no doubt that the world already existed and I was just the first to stumble inside.
3) What is your favourite Night Zoo animal and why?
I have two if that is okay? The first is an animal I met when I first entered the Night Zoo. She is a Time-Travelling Elephant called Maji and she is wise, wrinkled and funny but a little sad and lonely. She is excellent at memory games but I'm not sure if that is because she has a great memory or is just travelling backwards and forwards in time to check! The second is an animal created by one of the first children to use NightZookeeper.com called the Purple Octocow, which can make any flavour of milk you can imagine, especially disgusting ones. This animal was just the beginning and banana hedgehogs, honey zebra's and firefighting flameingos soon followed. But the Octocow will always have a special place in my heart.
4) What is next for the Night Zoo world?
Oh my goodness! Well, I guess you have heard that the robot Voids have invaded the Night Zoo? Conformity has invaded our creative paradise and it is up to us, yes all of us, you too, to let go of our inhibitions and set our imaginations and creativity free! We will probably need to recruit many more Night Zookeepers so get in touch and sign up to fight back!
