Shock Shop: the Bodigulpa (Shock Shop)

Spooky or funny, surprising or frightening, SHOCK SHOP is a collection of eight brand new novels by some of the greatest names in children`s writing. THE BODIGULPA Daniel`s not happy when Grandpa Green moves in with them after the mysterious death of Granny Green. He`s smelly, has dirty fingernails, long, lank hair and he`s mean to everyone. The only things he seems to like are his strange, menacing plants. When lovely Auntie Lorna comes to babysit one day, things take a turn for the worse. She brings her dog Stanley and Grandpa HATES dogs. After Stanley makes the mistake of peeing against the greenhouse door - the very greenhouse in which he keeps his horrible plants - Stanley disappears. All that remains is his broken, slime-covered leather collar and Daniel finds it behind Grandpa most precious the Bodigulpa. When Auntie Lorna disappears as well leaving behind only her high-heeled shoes (discovered beside the Bodigulpa) , Daniel begins to suspect that there`s more to his grandfather and his fast-growing plant than meets the eye...A great story, brilliantly told and bursting with horror, laughter and black, black humour!
