Description

If you think monsters don't exist, just ask Theodora Hendrix. The start of a brilliantly funny new series, perfect for fans of Amelia Fang.
The first rule of the Monstrous League of Monsters is: Keep monsters hidden from humans. But when zombie George and his cat companion Bandit find an abandoned baby, they can’t leave her to be eaten by hobgoblins. So they spirit her home where she quickly becomes part of the family. Fast-forward ten years, and young Theodora doesn’t seem too scarred by her monstrous upbringing. But now a series of anonymous letters suggest that someone is about to reveal their secret. If Theodora doesn’t act fast, she may lose her family for ever…

Critic Reviews

This gruesomely funny tale, the first in a series, is illustrated throughout with amusing black-and-white artwork. Not for the squeamish or faint-hearted, this action-packed spooky mystery is full of ghoulish characters and offbeat humour, and is ideal for independent young readers. BookTrust
Readers will be irresistibly drawn into the captivating world of Kopy's monster-filled middle-grade novel, where the promise of tantalizing secrets sets the stage for adventure. Through the snarky, charming narrative of a mysterious observer, the story unveils a delightful blend of whimsy and mystery revealing truths that adults often keep hidden from children—namely, the existence of monsters. Rescued as a baby from a graveyard, Theodora grows up in a house full of monsters learning to be good, but they have to keep her a secret. That's easier said than done, especially when Theodora starts attending school with an unusually terrible head teacher and someone threatening to report her monster family for breaking the no-humans rule. Alongside the lively characters and light mystery, the narrator imparts a particularly mischievous charm, with cheeky asides about how to prank teachers and the many ways parents are wrong. With playful, comical illustrations reminiscent of the Addams Family that vividly bring the scenes and characters to life, this delightful, cheeky romp is ideal for those who relish eerie tales with a humorous twist. -- Amy Ravelo Booklist
