The Gorgle

by Emma Fischel

Finn doesn't want to move to the spooky old house in the first place. Soon the strange goings-on and mysterious noises are driving him crazy - and he's driving his family crazy about it. Then he sees the creature that's been hibernating in the wardrobe...It's a Gorgle. A bit like a moth, a bit like a hornet, and a lot like a ten-foot-tall monster from your worst nightmare. It's awake. It's hungry. And Finn is the only one who can stop it!

Finn isn’t happy about moving to Gulliver House when his mum wins it in a raffle. He is even less happy when he sees something slithering under the furniture. And what is that strange moth thing he keeps seeing? With only his sisters and an imaginative four year old neighbour for company, Finn is fed up. But he is soon fighting for their lives against a huge moth monster – until something else emerges from their jungle of a garden to save them all.
