About the Book

A digital detox in a sleepy Welsh village was supposed to be boring. Then twelve-year-old Josiah is cut off from his family and trapped aboard a prototype submarine — with a strange connection to the creature guarding the ocean floor, and a war for ancient technology breaking out above his head. To save his brother, he’ll have to unleash it.

Terror from the Deep is the second Boy’s Own Adventure — same rule as the first: every chapter needs a reason to keep reading. No lectures, no detours, no easy outs.

For Readers Who…

are reading-age boys (and the adults who remember being them). If The Weird Map in Mr Glimm’s Skull earned the late-night torch under the duvet, this one goes deeper — literally.

This is Book 2 of Boy's Own Adventures. It all started with The Weird Map in Mr Glimm's Skull — or browse the series overview.
