What would YOU do ... if the whole world just stopped? Yes the WHOLE WORLD. Birds in the air. Planes in the sky. And every single person on the planet – except you! Because that's what keeps happening to ten-year-old Hamish Ellerby. And it's being caused by The WorldStoppers and their terrifying friends The Terribles! They have a PLAN! They want to take our world for their own ... Oh, and they hate children. Especially if you're a child who knows about them. Hang on – You know now, don't you? Oh dear. Can Hamish save us from the WorldStoppers?
