By Aoife Dooley. Published by Scholastic. 

Softcover, 240 pages, Colour, 2026. 

Ollie the vampire squid, Zing the sea bunny and the rest of the Squid Squad are back for more hilarious, zany and action-packed adventures in this full-colour graphic novel for readers aged 5-8, perfect for fans of Bumble and Snug, Spongebob Squarepants and Bunny vs Monkey.

The deep-sea town of Nowhere is home to the wackiest and weirdest creatures of the ocean, with abilities like shooting thorns, tripling in size and releasing stink-bombs! Teaming up as the Squid Squad, they’re ready to save the day – or cause chaos…

Join Ollie and Zing in four new mini episodes as they try out grown-up jobs, adopt an unusual new pet, track down a prized painting and rescue a shell-ebrity when a movie set turns up and jealous Thornelius stirs up trouble!

• Aoife’s striking, bold and friendly art style welcomes even less confident readers in these action-packed mini episodes
• Hilarious and anarchic visual humour with a loveable cast of vibrant characters
• A celebration of imagination, friendship and being completely unique!
