Jack Slater has a job on his hands. He has to tackle the monster who is frightening his parents out of their bed every night. Armed with his penlight torch and his teddy called Freddy, Jack Slater sets off into the monster underworld possibly helped, or possibly not, by his friendly monster informer, Bernard. There are lots of keen, mean sleuthing jokes in this terrific, funny fantasy. (7+)
Jack is an official monster investigator - licensed to hunt out monsters, who turn up under beds and terrorize small children. Armed with a high-power torch (monsters hate the light), a pocketful of spare batteries and a much-loved teddy, he sets off down to Monster Underworld when news reaches his ears that the monsters are on the march.
John Dougherty has been writing children’s books for over twenty years. His work ranges from the sublime to the ridiculous, including the surreal Stinkbomb and Ketchup-Face series, and the hilariously zany There’s a Pig Up My Nose . His beautiful, poignant picture book The Hare-Shaped Hole has won multiple awards.
John was born in Larne, Northern Ireland. He studied psychology at university and then tried his hand at a number of jobs including YMCA hostel worker, factory machine operator, and unsuccessful singer-songwriter, before becoming a primary school teacher. John is a passionate advocate for both public libraries and the importance of reading for pleasure. He was one of the first Patrons of Reading in the UK.
