Join Alan Nolan as he brings you on a on a thrilling tour of 1850s Dublin: meet Molly Malone and young Bram Stoker, the heroes of Alan’s new book Double Trouble at the Dead Zoo.
When eleven year old Bram, the future author of Dracula, and his best pal Molly meet a lonely boy called Sanjit in Dublin’s Natural History Museum they decide to show him the town. In return he tells them the tale of the dread (and very dead) pirate Captain Lamprey, infamous in India for stealing a priceless treasure and hiding it in Dublin.

Take part in the Double Trouble Creature Quiz and learn how to draw the oddest Dead Zoo animal of all, Captain Lamprey’s creepy croc!
