Where Monsters Lie

The children of Mivtown have grown up hearing the legend of the monsters of the loch. But it’s only a story – a warning to stay away from the water.

Then strange things start happening in the village. Effie’s rabbit Buster escapes from a locked hutch, her mum disappears without trace and slugs start to infest her home.

Along with her best friend Finn, Effie begins to hunt for clues to solve the mysteries of Mivtown. Could this all be connected to the legend? Is it really just a story or is there something lurking in those deep, dark waters?

Reviews

Another new series which promises to be a big hit with young readers . . . Abie Longstaff is a great writer for young children, who knows just how to capture her readers' attention and encourage them to enjoy reading

—— Parents in Touch

Epic and intense . . . fans of dark history [will be] hooked from the outset. Think Game of Thrones transported to the Ottoman Empire

It's delicious

Fierce and dark . . . A superb offering

—— theyoungfolks.com

Lada – so ugly and mean that readers will adore her – stubbornly rejects gender roles . . . and the characters . . . benefit from complex motivations and an unconventional love triangle. Addictive intrigue

—— Kirkus
