Jack Slater, Monster Investigator (Jack Slater, 1) - Softcover

"A clever story, cleverly told" (Mike Maran Carousel)

"The inventive illustrations, clever jokes and intriguing charaters, make this a thrilling adventure that strong readers will enjoy" (Children's Books Ireland)

"Plays to every youngster's fantasy of tipping child-parent relations on their head . . . This story is perfect for children still afraid of the dark, turning fear into laughter" (Eastern Daily Press)

"Jack is an engaging hero and his various scrapes and adventures are scary enough to be read by torchlight beneath the covers . . . An engaging first book in what could be a long series" (Dundee Evening Telegraph)

Jack Slater is an official Monster Investigator - licensed to hunt out monsters who turn up under beds and terrorize small children (and his parents!). Armed with a high-power torch (monsters hate the light), a pocketful of spare batteries and a much-loved teddy (there is nothing monsters hate more than a favourite childhood toy), he sets off down to Monster Underworld when news reaches his ears that the monsters are on the march. They're getting organized and no-one, not even the Prime Minister in Downing Street, is safe any more...
