About

Have you heard? There’s a monster in the woods!

But why doesn't anyone do something about it?

Frith is determined to save the day. With her hard-working dad, younger brother, Spuggy, and dog (called Cabbage), Frith will travel to the big city to convince the king that Something Must Be Done.

Along the way, she'll encounter a Big Wise Head, a mysterious squirrel, and discover that the truth about the monster is more surprising than she could have ever imagined. . .

Full of humour and warmth, Monster in the Woods is a future classic tale about family, friendship, and first impressions. Dave Shelton’s trademark wit, wisdom and poignancy shine throughout, as do his evocative black-and-white illustrations. The delicious plot twists and huge heart make this a book readers will return to again and again.
