The Hidden Creatures of Hackney Résumé

The Hidden Creatures of Hackney Ben Eady

The Hidden Creatures of Hackney is a story seen through the eyes of Kiran and Karma, as they explore their neighbourhood in search of a hidden magical world. The journey begins when the children find a map whilst playing in Granny's attic. The map includes instructions for making devices called Imagi-scopes. Using these devices and through the power of imagination, they can see and interact with otherwise invisible magical creatures who inhabit each location.

Along the way, the children enrage a squirrel druid, are nearly kidnapped by hairy Vikings, avoid being turned into fairies by a devious fox, and save their toes from being eaten by tiny aquatic tigers. There's more to discover as they explore this make-believe world, eventually arriving at a strange fancy dress funfair, which seems entangled with the magical places Kiran and Karma have discovered whilst on their adventure.

This fantasy-adventure, graphic-novel for developing readers aged 5-10, is written in verse, with a hint of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, a touch of The Gruffalo and a smidge of Pokemon GO. The whole family will love it!

The Hidden Creatures of Hackney Avis

My goodness The Hidden Creatures of Hackney is a clever book.
What Benjamin Eady has done is produce the perfect blend of image and text to reach so many young readers. Visually The Hidden Creatures of Hackney looks like a story for middle grade children but the rhyming text accompanying the images is accessible so that this is a story emergent readers and older more reluctant readers will adore...
It's about childhood fun, fantasy and adventure. It's a story that stimulates imagination and provides enjoyment and entertainment for children. It's colourful in appearance and content, so that children are given real joy in reading this book. Benjamin Eady's The Hidden Creatures of Hackney is highly impressive and I really recommend it.
