The Abominable Doughman
Never could Gordon have imagined that his dream of owning a bakery would lead him, his family and the country into a nightmare. When his daughter, Iris, is bullied at school, he gets her to make a ‘worry loaf’ – a dough into which she can release some of her anger. The dough begins to rise and grows to become a monster which takes revenge on the bully, Natasha, who disappears amongst a trail of dough.
With fingers pointing at Gordon, he too makes a ‘worry loaf’ which like his daughter’s, grows to become another giant creature. After huge drifts of dough are discovered in the direction of London, Iris thinks she knows where Natasha has gone and the reason for her behaviour. The two huge creatures meanwhile wreak havoc in the City. Will the police find Natasha? Can the creatures be stopped? Or will the family’s new beginning lead all to a sticky end?
