But when he catches a glimpse of his X-ray, Jack doesn’t expect to see a huge, squirming thing writhing around inside.
It turns out two of his best mates have the same problem. And the doctors won’t tell them anything.
Then the burning and hissing starts…
Part of our Shades series, this is a shorter novel (just 64 pages) for older readers who may find longer books too daunting – but who still want the excitement of a great story told with pace and style.
