Publisher's summary
“A MAGNIFICENTLY HILARIOUS MASTERPIECE OF MONSTER PROPORTIONS. I HOWLED WITH LAUGHTER!”, JENNY PEARSON, THE SUPER MIRACULOUS JOURNEY OF FREDDIE YATES
A monstrously funny new adventure series. Readers of 8+ and fans of Mega Monster and Shrek will adore the first in the brand new fantasy series from Irish debut author, Ian Mark
Every hero has to start somewhere . . .
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! Perfect for apprentice monster hunters aged 8 to 800.
Critic reviews

‘A funny, fast-paced tale for young adventurers, with gags sharper than a dragon's front teeth,’ David Solomons, award-winning author of My Brother is a Superhero
‘Monster Hunting for Beginners is the best kind of children's book: funny, fast paced and bursting with adventure. The brilliant pictures match the story perfectly. Children are going to gobble this book up!’ Jenny McLachlan, bestselling author of The Land of Roar
‘Ian Mark has created a magnificently hilarious masterpiece of monster proportions. I howled with laughter! The next in the series better come out soon, or I’ll hunt him down like I might the Crusted Hairy Snot Nibbler,’ Jenny Pearson, author of The Super Miraculous Journey of Freddie Yates
