A fast-paced, high-stakes adventure about heroes beating impossible odds - perfect for fans of Escape Room and Goosebumps. 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?
Having worked as a freelance games journalist and taught on a BA Creative Writing course, David Owen published four highly acclaimed YA novels before moving to middle-grade fiction with the Alex Neptune series, with Alex Neptune, Dragon Thief selected as a Waterstones Book of the Month. Graveyard Gladiators channels his love for video games, WWE and heroes beating impossible odds, and he plans to develop it into a card game.
