Croaky: Escape from Crow Castle

LoveReading4Kids Says

Led by their beloved Woggle Scout leader, Winston the puffin, Croaky and Sheena are looking forward to a ghost-hunting trip to creepy Castle Crow. So they’re deeply disappointed when the Grand Woggler, Morag the mole, decides to join them and all hope of fun adventuring swiftly disappears.

But when Croaky and Morag accidently get trapped in a ghostly secret tunnel, the end result is more daring adventure than Croaky could’ve wished for. Together the patrol must solve a series of clues to escape the tunnels and discover what really haunts the castle.

This is the fourth book in this action-packed popular series from Matty Long, the creator of Super Happy Magic Forest. Though cleverly placed introductions to Croaky and his friends at the very start of the book, mean it can be enjoyed with no prior knowledge of the series.

With large font, a smaller paperback size than average and bold, colourful pages this is a great choice for newly confident young readers. Full of bright illustrations, speech bubbles and lots of visual humour, this action-packed story is bound to be a hit with even the most reluctant of readers. Full marks for Croaky!
