Book cover of The Doomsday Club by Kevin Moran Jack and Conan's friendship is officially dead. Stuck in detention with Yash and Jerry after an all-out brawl, it’s a terrible start to sixth class. And that’s before they witness a monstrous beast step out of a portal outside their school. When it wanders into the crumbling mansion across the road, the boys follow. They have to investigate, right? - from the blurb

The cover of The Doomsday Club by Kevin Moran, the new Books for Keeps Book of the Week choice. It shows four boys standing in front of a gate in the rain, it's nightime and they are lit by lamps and a bright, somehow threatening light coming from behind the gate. It's very atmospheric and clearly implies that whatever is through the gate is dangerous.

Don't sleep on this one! #TheDoomsdayClub, coming from @theobrienpress.bsky.social very soon, written by brilliant debut author @kmoranwrites.bsky.social, is a fantastic story full of leap-off-the-page characters, snappy dialogue, genuinely pants-wetting terror and tons of laughs. I loved it!
