Title: The dark blue 100- ride bus ticket

Author: Margharet Mahy

Blurb: The dark blue 100- ride bus ticket is about a boy called Carlo and his Mum Jessica who live in an old brown run down flat. One day they accept a bus ticket from an old lady in the supermarket. Outside the shop, a blue bus that looks like the ticket shows up and takes them to the end of the world supermarket. Inside the endless supermarket, there is everything out of the ordinary including the horrible, mean, nasty Dowlers who are trying to overtake the supermarket. Carlo and Jessica meet another girl Carlo’s age called Pearlie and her dad Dominic who also have a bus ticket. All four of them throw a big party and invite all the people who work at the end of the world supermarket. The bus drivers who went to the party left the bus outside. Pearlie and Carlo were checking for Dowlers when suddenly they heard a cackling and screeching herd of dowlers coming. They jumped into the bus and hid under the blue velvet seats. Next minute they arrived at the Supermarket and the dowlers wrenched them out from under the seats. The dowlers smashed down the shelves and threw Pearlie and Carlo around the supermarket.
