Description

Jake's room is only slightly messy - until he tries to clean it! First Jake empties his sock drawer, his jock drawer and his toy cupboard; then he drags out all the dusty forgotten stuff beneath his bed. Now everything is piled on the bedroom floor and, to make matters worse, it all seems to have expanded! This time, Jake is going to do the job properly. There's a surprise in store for Dad but it isn't the one Jake planned! Packed with fun illustrations, Jake's Monster Mess is the hilarious second novel in Ken Spillman's Jake series.
