Author: Malorie BlackmanIllustrator: Dapo Adeola

Over the ocean; up the mountain! Join siblings, Charlie and Eddie, on their intrepid quest to find a…'monster'? Ideal for reading aloud, this rollicking reimagining of a well-loved ’90s favourite, with rich language, a cumulative refrain and fun lively illustrations, joyously centres a Black-British Bajan family and celebrates imaginative play.
