Mel Foster and the rag-tag heroes of the Monster Resistance are back in this exciting fantasy adventure from award-winning author Julia Golding.
How do you catch an international treasure thief who can TRAVEL IN TIME?
That’s the fiendish challenge that faces Mel Foster, Eve Frankenstein and their friends when priceless items begin vanishing all over the world. The Mona Lisa … Queen Victoria’s Crown Jewels … nothing is safe!
But the next item on the thief’s list is no diamond. It’s Mel himself. Before Mel knows it he’s been kidnapped and stranded in the past. He’s back in time, and back in trouble!
On Mel’s second monstrously big adventure he encounters famous and unusual heroes, and more than a couple of villains: Quasimodo the Younger, Mowgli and his wolf pack, and a cheery young pickpocket by the name of the Artful Dodger.
The time-twisting follow up to Mel Foster and the Demon Butler, winner of a Primary Teacher Bronze Award 2015.
This warm and witty gothic tale from the author of the Costa award-winning Cat Royal series will be perfect for 9+ fans of Chris Riddell’s Goth Girl and Terry Pratchett’s Dodger, and lovers of historical adventure.
Praise for Mel Foster and the Demon Butler
Amy, age 10 for lovereading4kids.co.uk: ‘This book has it all! Monsters, ghosts, icebergs and a boy on the Most Wanted list. Set in Victorian London, it has body doubles, a weird kind of magic and an adventure waiting to happen!’
We Love This Book: ‘Julia Golding’s first novel, in the new series, is an exciting tale of adventure and of beautifully innocent, loyal and enduring friendships through adverse conditions. After all, who would be normal when they have the chance to be a monster? A great fun kids book … I want to be part of the gang!’

This was very exciting because she went in a time machine.

This book is about a group of monsters that call themselves The Monster Resistance. This group consists of Eve Frankenstein, Viorica, the two nightmare fairies, a mummy, 2 brothers that can swap bodies and Mel Foster. Mel Doster later gets kidnapped and stranded in the past by a time travelling thief. My favourite part in this book was when Mel Foster zapped a boy using his electricity powers. My least favourite part was when I figured out that The Dodger was not really Mel's friend.Eve was my favourite character.

This book is very interesting to read as it talk about the idea of time travelling using a time machine. I would recommend this book because it takes you on an adventure with every turn of each page.
