About the Book

A meteorite harbouring an alien lifeform crashes to Earth with horrifying consequences in this gruesome and gripping tale from master of creepy sci-fi Dan Smith. The fifth and final adventure in the Crooked Oak series. What’s slithering about deep underground …? When a meteorite crashes to Earth near Crooked Oak, Pete, Nancy and Krish are determined to find it. But they’re not the only ones … After spotting one of their teachers up on the moor where the meteorite landed, they start to wonder if his strangely altered behaviour and appearance might be connected to the arrival from outer space. But nothing could prepare them for the horror they uncover deep down in Killburn Mine … Particularly suitable for readers aged 9+ with a reading age of 8.

Review :
“Feels like a magnificent episode of the Twilight Zone or Doctor Who – one that stays with you for being so eerily strange it gives you goosebumps” – Chris Soul on The Invasion of Crooked Oak “A gruesome, gripping and chilling tale with frightful consequences. I love the twists and terrifying atmosphere that Dan creates." – Little Posts of Library Treasures, blog "Prepare to have your spine well and truly tingled … With a twisting, terrifying plot, King’s wonderfully atmospheric black and white illustrations … this is a terrific, fast-paced tale of three brave youngsters caught up in an out-of-this-world adventure. Expect thrills, chills and spills…" – Lancashire Evening Post "The tension and fear factor are gradually turned up to the max by this experienced horror/science-fiction author … there are many, ‘What would you do?’ moments, which would be interesting to discuss in class or small groups." – English 4-11
