Ben's Room (Sharp Shades)

Barbara Catchpole

Description

Ben's parents treat him like a kid - so after a huge argument, he decides to leave home. He moves into a very cheap old flat that smells of damp and cabbage. Soon Ben and his two flatmates find hidden terrors inside the flat: rooms that shrink, giant cockroaches and jellyfish with eyes. It's as if their worst fears have come to life ... literally. Part of the new Fresh Shades series, this is a shorter version of the original book. The Sharp Shades stories are illustrated and have simpler language and a larger font than the original book. They are perfect 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.

O NE
Mum and Dad were up in my room. I told them not to go in there! It’s my room! They think I’m just a little kid!
I ran up the stairs.
‘Get out of my room!’ I yelled.
‘Look at this room – it’s a tip!’ my dad shouted at me.
‘I hate you, guys! All you do is nag – on and on and on. I hate it here!’ I shouted back.
It was a bit of a tip. There was a sock on the light shade and pizza under the bed. My dirty clothes were in a heap on the desk.
My room smelt of sweat and old food.
