Monsters Bite Back (Monster Hunting, Book 2)

Description

'A MONSTROUSLY FUNNY NEW VOICE,' MAZ EVANS, WHO LET THE GODS OUT? 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.

IAN MARK is an author and monster hunter living in Northern Ireland with his family, two cats he likes and one cat he doesn't. With his partner, he has written adult thrillers under the pen name Ingrid Black. Ian spends many hours staring into space, trying to decide whether the best book ever written is Virginia Woolf's The Waves or Enid Blyton's Book Of Brownies. His own work, he thinks, sits somewhere between those two poles.
