About this listen

Have you ever seen a random shoe on the side of the road?

Halloween is approaching, and in the seaside town of Seaton, Devon, Ethan Halston's life is changing. His parents are arguing, his gran is losing her memory, and his best friend has a secret.

Things begin to spiral when a child is nearly kidnapped. Has a monstrous shoe creeper come to town, and does Ethan's gran know more than she's letting on?
