Here are some book reviews from our DPS readers

Pichon, Liz

What monster?

★★★★★

This was one of the most humerous Tom Gates books I have ever read in my life! The kids in the school kept imagining different and unique anthropomorphisms for the different monsters and I just adored it! I have to give my compliments to the author because this is fantastic! The kids did get into a little trouble now and then but they always found a loophole to wriggle themselves out of. Liz is an amazing author and I would most encourage her to write more books like this!
