The inventive, hilarious and deliciously spooky second book from Mr Spicebag author, Freddie Alexander First off, let’s get one thing clear. Monsters under the bed are real. Let me repeat.

Sam thinks he might be bonkers, but then she wakes to hear an odd squelching sound coming from under the bed…Is it just Myrtle eating another one of Sam’s socks? Or are Granddad’s tales of mysterious monsters on the island true? Better get the jam, just in case!
