It takes a monster to know a monster ...And read more stories in the Monster Hospital series by the acclaimed author-illustrator of the THORA books.

A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

Johnson's writing is witty and inventive ... This is a book full of fun (Sunday Times Children's Book of the Week)

Thora is an irresistible new character ... storytelling at its best. (Starred review, Publishing News)

Thora is a thoroughly modern heroine in a fantasy adventure story with a pleasantly old-fashioned feel to it ... Gillian Johnson's own illustrations add to the book's charm. (Books for Keeps)

Wonderfully inventive and witty - the sort of book that gladdens the heart (Children's Bookseller and Publisher, Austra)
