Monster gibt es nicht?! Das dachte auch Jack, bis eines Tages ein Oger in seinem Garten auftauchte und seine Tante fressen wollte (die zwar total fies ist, aber deshalb muss man sie nicht gleich fressen). Nun ist er der neue Lehrling des 200 Jahre alten und schlecht gelaunten Monsterjägers Stoop. Gemeinsam sind sie auf dem Weg nach Cornwall, denn dort soll es noch mehr Oger geben, die Chaos anrichten. Zum Glück kann sich Jack auf seinen Verstand und ein altes Handbuch mit dem Titel ›Monsterjagen für Anfänger‹ verlassen. Und wie viele blutrünstige Monster kann es schon geben? Antwort: Einige! Der haarige Popelfresser ist besonders fies. Witzig, rasant erzählt und voller Abenteuer Das Standardwerk für Monsterjäger ab 8 Jahren Für Fans von ›Shrek‹ und ›Die Monster AG‹

Monster Hunting isn't as easy as it looks. And Jack should know. Because an ogre has just appeared in his garden and tried to EAT HIS AUNT. (She was the winner of the World's Worst Aunt competition, but that's Not The Point). After (sort of accidentally) defeating the ogre, Jack finds himself apprenticed to a grumpy, 200-year-old monster hunter called Stoop and heading off to Cornwall, where more ogres are causing havoc. All he has are his wits, his catapult and a magical - sometimes unreliable - book called Monster Hunting for Beginners. Jack's a bit worried he might not be the hero everyone's waiting for. But then again, how many terrifying, bloodthirsty monsters can there really be? (Answer: ABSOLUTELY LOADS. And a bear called Humbert). A hilarious and accessible story, packed full of illustrations - that gives a twist to all your favourite fairytales and will change everything you thought you knew about monsters!
