The first adventure in this riotously funny and absurd hybrid graphic-fiction series that smashes together the spookiness of Twilight Zone with the craziness of Adventure Time!

Maddie & Clare live in a quiet, palm tree-lined dead end with their dad and pet chicken. It’s not a place where not much happens, except for the odd small incident. Like a mass uprising of angry chairs. And the appearance of a prehistoric mutant fart gas. And an invasion of killer pineapples.

But other than that, things are pretty boring in Dead End. You can see why Maddie and Clare have to make their own fun …

From storytelling mastermind Lachlann Carter and Last Kids on Earth illustrator Douglas Holgate comes this hilarious and action-packed series for readers aged 6 and up! 

Book 2 coming soon: BIG TROUBLE WITH AN OLD FART!
