'Boss of the Underworld is one of the funniest books I've read this year, maybe this lifetime, and I'm not even exaggerating. It's INCREDIBLE.' Jamie Smart, creator of Bunny vs Monkey

Join Shirley and her giant cockroach friend, George, on a strange adventure through the Underworld. Will they triumph over scary foes, resist eating delicious things in the forest, navigate the Bog of Intense Emotions, and find their way into the dark sewers to confront the Green Menace??

There are many ways into the Underworld... but only one way out!

Fast-paced, funny and accessible, this graphic novel series is fizzing with charm and energy.

Praise for Boss of the Underworld:

'Out of this underworld!' Steven Lenton
