The Filth Licker

Takeshita Demons: The Filth Licker

Miku Takeshita and friends must face dark forests and dirty bathrooms at their school camp, and when Alex discovers the filth-licking aka-na-me demon in the boys’ bathroom, the pals are forced into the night to face a growing monster…

“The story is twisty and turny and told in a great voice and pacey way. The folklore is superbly researched and given a modern twist. It never gets preachy and reads very natural. It really is one of my favourite series for younger, confident readers.” My Favourite Book Blog

“Cristy Burne’s gripping story of Miku, a feisty young Japanese girl living in England, and her fight against the Takeshita Demons is a fast-paced and hugely entertaining contemporary adventure.” LoveReading4Kids
