A story about a boy staying with his prickly cactus-devotee relatives, who discovers one of their plants is not only rare -- it’s totally freaky!

When Jayden’s parents go off on their second honeymoon, he’s forced to stay with his eccentric and prickly cactus-devotee relatives. But Jayden’s boredom turns to distress when his aunt and uncle bring home an unusual cactus. There’s just something spooky about it. And when it starts shaking and increasing in size, he knows his instincts are right. Jayden soon discovers that it’s an extremely rare – and dangerous – cactus that houses a nest of tarantula eggs!
  • Lightning Strikes are short, fast-paced novels, laced with a good dose of humour.

Industry Reviews
...Freaky is a fun, but scary, tale based on an urban legend which sounds frighteningly true involving spiders and cacti. Jayden's adventure is fast-paced and short enough to entice the most reluctant reader ... Freaky is a great offering for primary aged readers. -- Sally Murphy
