Description
Jasper McPhee is always getting into trouble. That's why he's been sent to the Monstrum House School for Troubled Children. But there's something very strange about Monstrum House. For a start, the students have to stand barefoot in the snow every day. There's also the creepy feeling that the teachers can read your thoughts. Oh, and the fact that the school is crawling with monsters. Jasper has never been in trouble like this.
Reviews
"Readers 9+ will love these in-the-real-world monsters and the idea that adults, their brains shrinking with age, are too small-minded to believe in the danger all around them. It's up to kids to save the day . . . This is the first book in what promises to be both a fun and frightening series." --The Reading Stack
"This new series combines a remote boarding school, quirky kids and monsters that go bump in the night for a fun adventure series for kids aged 9+." --Suite101
