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!
Froggy, Fearless, and Ready for Adventure!
Leap into this action-packed chapter book series from Super Happy Magic Forest creator Matty Long-perfect for readers who love funny stories!
Croaky Hopper isn't like other little frogs. His head is filled with thoughts of wild adventures. He dreams of hopping across crocodile-infested waters, or being chased by a giant boulder, just like the famous TV explorer Tennessee Toad. But where can an energetic amphibian like Croaky find real-life adventure?
When his Aunt Lilly signs him up for the Woggle Scouts, he expects to spend his time crafting with pinecones and selling cookies, but he soon discovers there's much more in store . . .
In Escape from Crow Castle , the Woggle Scouts are on a mission to uncover the cause of mysterious hauntings at Crow Castle. On the expedition, they find hidden passageways, puzzle rooms, and a murder of meddling crows! For more action-packed adventures with Croaky Hopper try Caverns of the Gemosaurus .
