Sucked In

A weird and wacky spine-tingling tale.
When Zainey buys an eye, Dan thinks it’s a total rip-off – a useless joke. But this eye is no joke. This eye is after blood.

Reviews
Sucked In is a funny, slightly spooky tale of an out of control eye and a boy who will do whatever it takes to feel he belongs… Whilst the story is humorous, its messages about friendship and self-belief are important ones.Part of Walker Books’ new Lightning Strikes series, Sucked In is attractively packaged and the shorter length and accessible text size and presentation will make it appealing to readers of all abilities.
