Are you ready for a monster mission?

One night, deep in the catacombs of St Paul’s Cathedral, eleven-year-old Nelson stumbles across a strange and ancient machine, which accidentally extracts the seven deadly sins from his soul in the form of living breathing, grumpy, smelly monsters. Suddenly he’s stuck with seven angry, sneaky, greedy, vain, adorable, thieving, farting new friends, who help him form the best (and weirdest) plan ever: to find and rescue his missing beloved big sister . . .

The Deadly 7 is a monster adventure by Garth Jennings, writer and director of animated movie Sing, and is packed full of hilarious illustrations.

It was really exciting when the monsters turned into giant versions of themselves.

My brother told me all about it so I read it. Remember monsters are your friends if they're friendly.

This book would be good for 7-10 year olds because it's potentially scary for younger readers. I liked the part where Nelson dressed up as a girl best. My favourite character was Nosh. The author uses lots of imagination and makes the story realistic. If you like fantasy books you will like this.

Nelson's sister is kidnapped and his parents go to find her. He stays with his Uncle. In St Paul's cathedral he extracts his 7 sins as monsters and they help him to rescue his sister. I really like this book. My favourite part was when Nelson became a fish in the river of life, because it was unexpected. My favourite character is Puff because his farts can knock you out for a week! I would recommend this book to children who like funny books that are very random! I am 10 and it was fine for me.
