Resumen del Editor

“A stunning book...a brand new take on the monster story.” (Eoin Colfer, international best-selling author of the Artemis Fowl series)

From award-winning author Pádraig Kenny comes an action-packed middle-grade fantasy about a family of monsters, perfect for fans of Jonathan Auxier and Victoria Schwab.

Mirabelle is part of a very unusual family. Between Uncle Bertram transforming into a ferocious grizzly bear and Aunt Eliza’s body being made entirely of spiders, it’s safe to say they are an extraordinary lot.

To the human residents of Rookhaven Village, the family is a threat. So long ago, a treaty was reached between them - in return for sundries and supplies, the monsters won’t eat the townspeople - and an invisible glamour was set around the perimeter of the Manor to keep strangers out.

But the glamour serves a second purpose: to keep Mirabelle and her family hidden from those who would do them harm. When two orphans - siblings Jem and Tom - stumble upon a tear in the magical field and open a door that was meant to stay locked, Mirabelle and her family are put in grave danger. A very real monster has locked onto their scent, and he has a hunger for their kind.

At turns chilling and thought-provoking, Pádraig Kenny’s The Monsters of Rookhaven explores difference and empathy through the eyes of characters you won’t soon forget.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“A magnificent, shadowy, gothic adventure full of heart.” —Emma Carroll, author of When We Were Warriors

“Unique, thrilling and moving...with its timely—yet timeless—message of choosing empathy over fear, The Monsters of Rookhaven is proof that Pádraig Kenny is one of the best children's writers around.” —Shane Hegarty, author of Darkmouth

"Between the incredible descriptions, unique cast, and dark and lovely illustrations, readers will be enveloped by Rookhaven. They will experience the tragedy and grief that follows not only Jem and Tom but the people from the village, as well as Rookhaven, and they will stay up long into the night to discover who the real monster is. A breathtaking novel about family, loss, and truly seeing those around us." —Booklist, Starred Review

Perfect for fans of the Addams Family

Mirabelle and her family are just as creepy, kooky and utterly lovable as the Addams family. I don’t often read Middle Grade books so I’m glad I took a chance on this one. The children also remind me of the kids in House on the Cerulean Sea.
