If you believe that monsters do not exist, just ask Theodora Hendrix. The second in a brilliantly funny new series, perfect for fans of Amelia Fang.

After facing down an evil hag, a thieving skele-crow, and an army of the undead, ten-year-old Theodora Hendrix is certain she can handle anything – that is, until she meets the unpleasant Inspector Shelley and her even more unpleasant pet rat. Shelley and Ratsputin have come to spy on the MLM, and are determined to make trouble at every turn. Then Theodora makes a discovery of her own: a cursed beetle. She needs to destroy it without attracting the attention of the inspector – and fast. The stakes could not be higher: if Theodora fails, her beloved monster family will rot in the dankest, darkest prisons of Transylvania.

But Theodora is not one to give up easily. With the help of her best friend, Milo, and a mysterious creature known as the Book of Shadows, she sets out on a perilous journey to break the curse and save her family. Along the way, she encounters a host of strange and fascinating creatures, including a talking unicorn, a mischievous fairy, and a wise old wizard.

Theodora must use all of her wits and courage to defeat the evil forces that are trying to destroy her and her monster family. She must also learn to accept herself and her unique abilities, and to believe in herself even when the odds are against her. In the end, Theodora emerges as a true hero, and her monster family is saved from certain doom.

This is a must-read book for fans of adventure, humor, and monsters of all kinds. It is a story that will inspire and delight readers of all ages, and will leave them eagerly anticipating the next installment in the series.
