The carnival gates swing open, but no one leaves.
When Ewen Useless Euston and his best friend Perry sneak into the grand opening of The New Carnival, they expect a few free rides and maybe some trouble for sneaking in. What they don't expect is to find every adult slumped unconscious and every child vanishing into thin air.
Then their friend Will wins a strange token in a rigged arcade game. One canoe ride later, the boys are transported to an alien planet where the sun never sets, and nothing is what it seems.
Drugged food. Grinning surveillance heads. Monstrous hounds. And a gang of red-crested criminals who see children as cargo.
Useless and his friends must outwit intergalactic kidnappers, befriend terrifying alien creatures, and find a way home before time runs out, or they'll be lost forever.
Packed with fast-paced action, dry humour, and nail-biting escapes, Useless and the Carnival of Terror is the second adventure in A Useless Series, perfect for readers 10+ who love brave underdogs, bizarre mysteries, and impossible odds.
