Derwent Drive was known as the Speed Creep. A continual chain of Dashes into Blind. We'd all heard the story about the Creeper who dropped Blind into a garden only to discover he was standing in a dog pound. It was also the longest creep; twenty-five houses all in a row no bends no kinks. And no Creeper had ever done the lot. But Jamie and I reckoned we could do it. Jamie was the best Creeper around. He was the best Buddie you could have. And he was mine. Ever heard about 'creeping' before? Probably not. Nobody really talks about it. That doesn't mean it doesn't happen. It does. Creeping over back fences all the way down a street without getting caught; without being hurt. It happens more than you might think. It's probably happening somewhere tonight.
Creepers is a wierd book because the kids in this book climb over fences and run through peoples backyards. They like to Creep on Derwent Drive, because it is the hardest, it has 50 houses. And they sometimes get bitten by the dogs, step in a garden, or get cut by barb-wire. The only bad thing about this book is that they curse a lot.
