A Bigfoot is on the loose! A squirrel wedding! Silent disco party time! Just another day in Grimwood really! Ted, Nancy, Willow and the rest of the Grimwood gang must embark on their greatest adventure yet to save their home from a nasty, thieving stink monster.

Grimwood: Attack of the Stink Monster! is the third in the hilarious Grimwood series by the award-winning Nadia Shireen. For all those who like a laugh-out-loud animal-based adventure story, then this is for you. With the usual amount of Grimwood chaos, action and mishaps, this is just quite simply a joy to read. Eric Dynamite is there again to lead you through and add his own humour, which I love.

This is such a skillfully-written early chapter book. I know that teachers and children alike will be clambering to read this and it will not be allowed to sit on the shelves for long! Like the others in the series, this adventure would be perfect for a child who needs to develop their love of reading, it would make a wonderful class story or a study book for guided reading. This is another master class form Nadia in how to write a successful children's chapter book!
