Book of the Month for October 2021 Winner of the Honour Award for
Fiction, KPMG Irish Children's Book Awards 2021 Sometimes the
monsters take us. Sometimes we become the monsters. Mirabelle has
always known she is a monster. When the glamour protecting her
unusual family from the human world is torn and an orphaned brother
and sister stumble upon Rookhaven, Mirabelle soon discovers that
friendship can be found in the outside world. But as something far
more sinister comes to threaten them all, it quickly becomes clear
that the true monsters aren't necessarily the ones you can see. A
thought-provoking, chilling and beautifully written novel, Padraig
Kenny's The Monsters of Rookhhaven, stunningly illustrated by
Edward Bettison, explores difference and empathy through the eyes
of characters you won't want to let go. 'A stunning book . . . a
brand new take on the monster story' Eoin Colfer, author of Artemis
Fowl 'A magnificent, shadowy, gothic adventure full of heart' Emma
Carroll 'A wildly imaginative story . . . a triumph' Irish Examiner
