Synopsis

‘A MONSTROUSLY FUNNY NEW VOICE,’ MAZ EVANS, The second seriously silly adventure in the hilarious series that turns everything you thought you knew about monsters upside down! Perfect for young monster hunters aged 8+ and fans of Sam Copeland, Jenny Pearson and How to Train Your Dragon When the monsters start misbehaving it’s a monster hunter’s job to sort them out! In their second adventure Jack, his best friend Nancy and Stoop (a grumpy, 200-year-old monster hunter) head up to Scotland after reports of some mysterious monsters causing chaos in an ancient abbey. And maybe they’ll even get a glimpse of Nessie! But when they get there they find some obstacles in their path – whether that’s the fog goblins, disgruntled ghosts, some very odd loch monsters and even a rival monster hunting agency. Oh and there’s also an ancient curse that spells THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT! A monster hunter’s work is never done.

Goodreads review by Marissa

Monsters, nonnen en andere enge wezens zijn perfecte content voor spooktober, dus dit boek past perfect bij deze tijd van het jaar. Hoewel ik normaal gezien gruwel van nonnen,kwam ik nu niet meer bij van het lachen. Al kwam dat vooral door hun (hilarische) namen en de naam van klooster waar ze wonen......more
