Sarah is used to being the odd one out. She lives on a boat, makes up tall tales, loves ghosts and will do almost anything to prove they exist.

But when her search leads to the dilapidated hulk of a sunken ship, a terrifying monster lies in wait, and Sarah begins to wonder ... whats really skulking in the deep, dark water? And will anyone survive long enough to find out?

Critic reviews

'The Squid Slayer is not for the faint-hearted. Hold on to your wetsuit, and ready your fins for an ocean-based thriller.' (Aussie Reviews)

'This is a compelling series, perfect for reluctant or competent readers eight years and over. The series reminds me of the Goosebumps collection from many years ago, albeit each story is longer than the Goosebumps stories.' (on The Haunted Book and The Squid Slayer) (Reading Time)

'Jack Heath's Scream series are fast-paced, action-packed junior novels with short chapters suitable for readers who have high interest levels and lower reading age.' (on the Scream series) (ReadPlus)

'There are themes about friendship and family that help to make the stories more than just scary. They are not gory or violent and will be loved by those who like a scare.' (on the Scream series) (Australian Literacy Educators' Association)
