Product Description

Product Description
When Ben and Midge sneak out at night to investigate mysterious corn-circles which have begun to appear in the fields around Cansfield Farm, they discover that a dilapidated barn conceals a terrifying secret. By the award-winning author of "Room 13", "Dracula's Castle" and "Inside the Worm".

From the Back Cover
It was sick and hungry and a long, long way from home...
Something is causing mysterious circles to appear in the cornfields of Cansfield Farm. And someone, or something, has obviously terrified Barry Cansfield, the farmer's bullying son. But when friends Ben and Midge sneak out to the farm to investigate, they discover a secret more terrifying than they could possible have imagined - a truly monstrous horror that simply must be stopped...

5.0 out of 5 stars 'Hydra' by Robert Swindells, 27 Jan 2004
By A Customer
'Hydra' by Robert Swindells, is an excellent book about Ben & Midge, a boy and a girl from the local school investigating the mystery of a crop circle that has recently appeared at Cansfield farm. At first it seems to be nothing, but after a midnight break in to Cansfield, they begin to realise the circle was created by alien jellyfish, seemingly harmless, untill they gradually mutate in to a much more dangerous lifeform, that would throw Midge, Ben and the rest of the world into danger IF they are allowed out...

This book is a fairly interesting read about two young children investigating corn circles at Cansfield Farm. As they get closer to the truth they come across some frighteningly mysterious goings on.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exciting but gruesome in places, 22 Feb 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Hydra (New Windmills) (Hardcover)
Read this book to discover the mysteries of corn circles, if you dare! Another exciting story by Robert Swindells, it had me hanging on to the edge of my seat for ages. The only negitive thing about this book is that I could not put it down. by David Stupples Age 9
