About This Book
My twin brother's cactus is growing spines--and a taste for blood.
All Gordon wanted was to prove that plants could think. His school science project? A fuzzy pink cactus called Fred. But when Gordon wires Fred up to meters and plays Beethoven nonstop, things start to get... weird.
First, the school bully ends up in tears. Then our cat vanishes--and our budgies drop dead. Fred's growing fast, sprouting spikes and developing a mind of his own. Gordon says Fred is sensitive. I think Fred is dangerous.
And when Gordon starts calling that creepy cactus his best friend... I realise I might be the only one who can stop it.
A hilariously creepy tale of sibling rivalry, rogue science, and one very sinister pot plant. Perfect for upper primary readers who love their humour dark and their fiction weird.
