"Loud, raucous, and wonderful, Graveyard Gladiators is a macabre delight!" Derek Landy, author of Skulduggery Pleasant

A funny, spooky, madcap adventure about heroes beating impossible odds, this is TV's Gladiators with monsters! Perfect for gamers and fans of Escape Room and Goosebumps, and brand-new from the bestselling author of the Alex Neptune series.

Once a year, monsters and the undead rise up from the Underworld and battle each other in the Graveyard Games to win a star prize.
Tonight, that prize is...
Jude's dad.

But not if Jude can win him back. With the help of new friend and monster-wrestling expert Posie, plus top trainer (and zombie) Mickey, all Jude has to do is:

Race three monsters in the Gauntlet of Death
Beat a beast to the most skulls in Skull Cull
Then wrestle the undefeated champion one-on-one in the Graveyard Rumble
All to become the top GRAVEYARD GLADIATOR!

Easy, right?
