The first Monstacademy Mystery for curious and monstrous children.
A new school, new friends and monsters for classmates.
Joining a new school is hard for any child. When Trixie Grimble joins a school for monsters, her problems are only just beginning.
She soon realises that she’s going to have to make some adjustments if she’s going to fit in at Monstacademy. There’s a big event on the horizon and a mystery afoot. With only a cursed werewolf and a vegetarian vampire to help her, will Trixie solve the mystery in time?
Whatever happens, Trixie and her friends need to make sure that the school stays open and the Halloween Parade goes off without a hitch.
Readers are loving this exciting and funny adventure that tackles the problems all children face when moving to a new school.
"I wish more books like this had been around when I was a child, it would have made reading even better and more imaginative. A character like Trixie would have been a great read as a child and was also a very cute and loving character to read as an adult." - Belle and the Novel
"This was a really fun read and I can imagine it being a story that is loved and read over and over - it certainly has some brilliant quirky characters!" - Donna's Book Blog
"From a parents point of view I liked that the book showed that we can all be different but all feel the same when we are left out, made fun of or are bullied." - Orchard Book Club's Mini Reviewers
"I may be an adult, but I still found myself snorting with laughter at the humour, and the snippets that I read out to my class had them giggling away and roaring with laughter." - The Bookish Fairy
"[My daughter] read it through in one evening and there was complete joy and laughter that could be heard through the ceiling to my office below. She loved the story." - Girl Who Sciences
The Monstacademy series chapter books are also available in dyslexia-adapted paperback editions.
