Monster Bogey - Anna Brooke, illustrated by Owen Lindsay

 

Frank Bear Horace Pickerty-Boop lives with his parents in Snozzle Castle.  The place is very run-down as the family can't afford the cost of the repairs so they only live in two rooms, leaving the rest of the castle unoccupied and dilapidated.  Now, Frank is a nose-picker, and a secret one at that, saving up his pickings over the course of the day and then emptying them into his cupboard when he gets home.  He has amassed quite the pile of bogeys and he is rather proud of his tower, until the night of the storm when his  bogey creation is hit by lightning, bringing it to life!  So now Frank and his best friend, Tiffany, have to keep the monster hidden from his parents.  But then add into the mix a very nosy neighbour, Willamina, who is desperate to get her hands on Snozzle castle, and who knows what will happen.  Can Frank and Tiffany keep the monster hidden from everyone and will Willamina's scheming ways be successful?

Monster Bogey is a laugh-out-loud funny book that is snot to be sniffed at.  Pacey and thoroughly entertaining, readers will be swept along on this gooey tale of deception and mayhem.  You will be willing Frank and Tiffany on but I guarantee that you will also enjoy Willamina's devious ways (I thoroughly enjoyed hating her!).  With illustrations by Owen Lindsay to enhance the excitement, I nose that this book will go down well with fans of Wimpy Kid & Tom Gates fans.

Released on the 5th January, I recommend picking up a copy of Monster Bogey as I know you'll enjoy having a rummage around inside!
