Farmer's son Mark is delighted when they manage to rent their newly converted barn to a London-based family for the whole summer. But Mark's delight turns to horror when the Beesley-Trings, quickly renamed the Beastly Things, arrive. They are completely mad and even worse, they seem determined to ruin Mark's life. Still, it's only for six weeks, so it can't be that bad...or can it? Suitable for reading age 8 and interest age 8 - 12
