Stop Those Monsters!
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
Bob is flabbergasted when he unexpectedly plunges headlong into Terra Monstra, a subterranean world populated by all manner of terrifying monsters.
Luckily, he is 'rescued' by Verity, an enthusiastic human spotter who resembles an enormous hamster. When she tells him of a magical jewel which grants wishes, they embark on a treacherous expedition to find it, so that he can use the stone to return home. They are joined en route by monster misfits Alfie Crudzilla, whose ambition is to be a stand-up comedian, and Zola, a snake-haired gorgon who transforms creatures into whacky art installations with just one glance.
A hugely entertaining, fast-paced romp through Monsterland, with hilarious, lively illustrations which bring the monsters to life.
