A financial services professional by day (no idea how that happened), Jordan spends her nights with ghouls, witches and the occasional evil hag. Review 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 Kopys 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. Thats 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 * Details ISBN1406392618 Author Chris Jevons Pages 256 Publisher Walker Books Ltd Series Theodora Hendrix Year 2020 ISBN-10 1406392618 ISBN-13 9781406392616 Publication Date 2020-10-01 Language English Illustrator Chris Jevons Format Paperback DEWEY 813.6 UK Release Date 2020-10-01 Imprint Walker Books Ltd Place of Publication London Country of Publication United Kingdom AU Release Date 2020-10-01 NZ Release Date 2020-10-01 Audience Age 9-11 Audience Children / Juvenile We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
