Here Be Monsters!: An Adventure Involving Magic, Trolls, and Other Creatures (Ratbridge Chronicles) - Hardcover
Book 1 of 2: The Ratbridge Chronicles
Synopsis
Skulduggery is afoot!
Welcome to Ratbridge. But beware -- for there is skulduggery afoot. Young Arthur has fallen foul of the appalling outlaw, Snatcher, and is trapped alone in the town with every way home sealed. Meanwhile Snatcher and his men are working tirelessly in secret on a fiendish and dastardly plan to take over -- and destroy -- the entire town. With the help of Willbury Nibble, QC; some friendly boxtrolls and cabbageheads; Marjorie the frustrated inventor; and the rats and pirates from the Ratbridge Nautical Laundry, can Arthur thwart Snatcher's evil plans -- and find his way home?

Review
Here Be Monsters kicks the imagination into overdrive with belting characters, adorable illustrations and other fantastic inventions that will keep a child's appetite for fun fully satisfied. With superb illustrations and a lavishly imaginative plot, Here Be Monsters suggests that Roald Dahl might well have a 21st century successor - and that JK Rowling could have some competition on her hands' (The Big Issue)
Snow's drawings suggest a Dickensian town, and his caricatures with their gormless faces and his lovingly rendered machinery make this book (now a website and film) as much fun to look at as it is to read. (Sunday Times)
The story engages the reader quickly. It is a zany and funny story as quirky as the author's picture books . . . the visual imagery is fantastic in both senses of the word. The sheer vibrant fun of the story shines throughout. (School Librarian)
Imaginative, quirky, inventive - a few words that come to mind when reading this amazing book. Intriguing illustrations are a key part of a book which abounds with weird and wacky ideas and flows along wonderfully. (Parents in Touch)
