Reading Quest: Black Shuck of Bungay

Ever wondered what terrorised the Scape Ore swamp in 1980s South Carolina? Or who visits the naughty children in Northern Europe to punish them on Christmas Eve? Or how bloated undead feeders got upgraded to a shape-shifting castle-dwelling Count? From well-known and well-feared monsters like Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster, to the lesser-known, but just as weird and wonderful Japanese Sea Serpent and Chinese Hopping Vampires, this is a must-have guide to monsters from all over the world.

Monster hunting isn't as easy as it looks. And Jack should know. Because an ogre has just appeared in his garden and tried to eat his aunt. (She was the winner of the World's Worst Aunt competition, but that's not the point). After (sort of accidentally) defeating the aunt-eating ogre, Jack finds himself apprenticed to a tiny, grumpy, 200-year-old monster hunter called Stoop and heading off to Cornwall, where more ogres are terrorising the town of King's Nooze. All he has are his wits, his catapult and a magical - sometimes unreliable - book called 'Monster Hunting for Beginners'. Not gonna lie, Jack's a bit worried he might not be the hero the residents of King's Nooze were waiting for. But then again, how many terrifying, bloodthirsty monsters can there really be out there?

A Bigfoot is on the loose! Ted, Nancy, Willow and the rest of the Grimwood gang must embark on their greatest adventure yet to save their home from a nasty, thieving stink monster. Monster hunters are GO!

An action-packed, hilarious, full colour, comic adventure full of heart, featuring an unforgettable and iconic new heroine! Eowulf Wegmund just had the most amazing summer ever. She travelled to a magical supply shop, rescued unicorn soldiers from a pocket dimension and fought an evil god. Pretty cool stuff, even if you are descended from the legendary monster hunter Beowulf! Now Eowulf finds herself back home, where the only monsters are the ones in her Dungeons & Dragons game, and the weirdest creature around is her classmate Amadeus Hornburg - and he's just an angry little kid that nobody likes. But when a mysterious supervillain returns to wreak havoc on their quiet town, Eowulf and Amadeus must join forces to unearth a dark past that wants to stay buried.

From the author of 'Hoot Owl, Master of Disguise', comes a wonderfully interactive, which-way adventure story which follows Floyd and his sister into the dark, shadowy valley behind their house. The valley is full of all kinds of creepy, freaky, weaselly creatures and the scariest of them all is the bugaboo!

'Are You a Monster?' is a fun interactive read-aloud picture book that will have readers of all ages roaring and stomping along, as Monster encourages them to be the scariest monster possible.
