Shirley 2

Only 56 sleeps!

Boss of the Underworld 2: Shirley Vs The Huge Beast, publishes on January 15th, and I thought I would make some posts about it!

At the dramatic end of the last book, Shirley Vs The Green Menace, we saw George abducted by a giant mole, and taken into the Under-Underworld. The new book begins as Shirley follows him down…

Landing in a cave, Shirley meets the Queen-in-hiding and royalist banana skin, Peels. Together they set out to find George and vanquish the (titular!) Huge Beast!!

In this section, having walked for a while, Shirley and Peels come across some scary foes…

What will happen next?! How will they escape this scrape?? You KNOW how to find out…

Boss of the Underworld: Shirley Vs The Huge Beast publishes on January 15th, 2026. It’s a full-colour comic story aimed at readers 7+ - and what better way to brighten up the misery of a rubbishy wintery January!
