The Nightmare Club 10: Brain Drain Baby

A spooky story from the Nightmare Club series by Annie Graves

A spooky story from the Nightmare Club series by Annie Graves

See, the thing is, new babies are empty-headed. Total smushfaces, nothing in their brains, and they can't do anything.

So, how come Barry's baby sister can draw pyramids?

The baby is draining all the knowledge out of Barry's brain - wom, wom, WOM - and his mum's and dad's too. If Barry can't find a way to stop her, she is going to suck out all the stuff in everyone's head and all their brains are going to turn to mush. Aaaaaaagh!

Written by Dave Rudden, author of the bestselling Knights of the Borrowed Dark series.

Annie Graves is twelve years old, and she has no intention of ever growing up. She is, conveniently, an orphan, and lives at an undisclosed address in the Glasnevin area of Dublin with her pet toad, Much Misunderstood, and a small black kitten, Hugh Shalby Nameless. You needn't think she goes to school - pah! - or has anything as dull as brothers and sisters or hobbies, but let's just say she keeps a large saucepan bubbling on the stove. Annie Graves is a prolific writer of children's books. She writes all the Nightmare Club titles HERSELF, but various authors CLAIM to have helped her: Deirdre Sullivan, Alice Stevens, Katherine Farmar, Oisin McGann, David Maybury, Sarah Purcell, Dave Rudden.
