A rip-roaring picture book adventure from superstar pairing Malorie Blackman and Dapo Adeola.

Over the shimmering ocean, up the huge, high mountain, through the deep, dark forest . . . WE’RE GOING TO FIND THE MONSTER!

Join two intrepid adventurers as their imaginations transform their house into a wild wonderland – and their big brother becomes a mighty monster. A joy to read-aloud with its cumulative refrain, and full of funny, relatable characters, this is a contemporary celebration of creativity, fantasy and family.

Written by bestselling author of Noughts & Crosses, Malorie Blackman, this story was originally published as Marty Monster. This new version has been stunningly brought to life by the award-winning illustrator of Look Up!, Dapo Adeola.

My favourite part is when they went in the monster's lair and the monster sprang up and roared 'tickle time'.

I enjoyed the journey the siblings went through in order to find the monster! In the end they found out the monster was their elder brother Marcus! The ending was funny when dad told Marcus to stop tickling his brother and sister. When he said, 'And if I don't' mum said, 'we'll all tickle you' and they did!

My favourite characters are Charlie and Eadie because they worked together as a team and helped each other, and kind to one another. But the brother was a little nice to play with them as the monster

The book is very good it goes on and on. When you are not reading it you can still remember it. I like the ideas of the book. My best bit is when Marcus tickled his brother and sister.
