博客來A lovingly illustrated story about facing the spooky monsters that live in all of our imaginations. Join our young protagonist on a journey of bravery and curiosity as we face our fears together!
A creak in the house... a flicker of light... a smell in the air that just isn’t right.
This is the story of one child’s journey as he learns to confront the strange and scary monsters he believes are lurking around his home. With each eerie encounter, readers are reminded of what it was like to be a kid; when odd sensations could send our imaginations running wild! Together, we’ll face our fears and discover whether the creatures are real, or just living inside our heads.
