|title= Lockwood and Co: The Hollow Boy
|rating= 5
|genre= Confident Readers
|summary= The adults are baffled (as usual) and only Lockwood, George and Lucy can save London from the murderous ghosts.

Hence they embark on the trip to be pioneer farmers on Plowman's Planet, even when they're forewarned of a host of different and most unusual animals already resident there. That advice still doesn't really prepare them for the battle whose crossfire in which they immediately get caught…
