The Rise of the Foctopus
language
( March 10, 2019)
What do you get if you cross a magical cat, a grumpy lasagne, a mad scientist and a tap-dancing bat … with … a small boy, a sock puppet, a heroic blacksmith, a mysterious butler and about ten thousand rampaging aliens?
Good question ... I'm not entirely sure.
But, if you throw in a ghostly dog, a miserable tax collector and a genius young woman in a lab coat then the answer is obvious; what you get is this truly marvellous book! The Rise of the Foctopus (an Aldo's Cat adventure) is an awesome tale of science and magic ... and biscuits, in a race against time, evolution, gravity ... and tentacles.
It starts one dark and stormy night when a hapless scientist accidentally creates THE FOCTOPUS, an amazing multi-coloured creature with a taste for steel bars and global conquest. Suddenly everything and everyone is in peril and the sounds of POP-POPPING tentacles are EVERYWHERE. Now, a boy, a cat and an unlikely band of heroes must battle to save the world and halt the almost unpronounceable Foctopocalypse.
The Rise of the Foctopus is perfect for fans of Roald Dahl, David Walliams and Andy Stanton ... or anyone else looking for a sparkling adventure sprinkled liberally with nonsense, strong female characters and a sarcastic cat.
