Product Information

Dapo Adeola, Tracy Darnton, Joseph Coelho and Chitra Soundar are among the 19 authors and illustrators longlisted for the Inclusive Books for Child... Georgie is digging his way out of a grave at midnight when he’s disturbed by a baby howling. It’s not the sort of thing a zombie expects in his cemetery. Thereafter, it’s not what the ghoulish residents of 13 Battington Crescent expect when Georgie arrives home. After all, isn’t their first rule ‘ Keep monsters hidden from humans’? What can be done? It doesn’t seem as though there’s anyone nearby to whom the monsters might leave the baby, safely. Then again, they have the power to rehabilitate any hag or hobgoblin who ‘ may have a taste for human flesh’. Initially Mummy is resistant to the baby. Yet when she opens her eyes and smiles ‘a toothless smile’, at Mummy everything changes. Thereafter, the baby is named and grows to live and thrive with the Monstrous League of Monsters. Yet, what happens when the monsters receive ear wax threats about Theodora’s presence with MLM? Thereafter, what if Theodora discovers these threats and determines to investigate? Might it be that she’ll have a human friend brave enough to join in her research? Furthermore, can they both stand up to a bullying Headteacher and the terror of a red-eyed crow? Theodora's new friend Dexter is avoiding her since she invited him over after school one day, and her principal is determined to find a reason to expel her. How did life get so complicated?

However, Theodora, for that is who she becomes, keeps the truth about her home, quiet. In fact not to ‘ let anyone discover Theodora living at the MLM mansion’ becomes the fourth rule. Fortunately, when it comes to human interaction, such as rare visitors and visits such as to Theodora’s school, there’s always the magic of ‘glamour’. The Primary School Library Alliance is calling on the government to match-fund the private investment it has brought into helping primary schools c... Whilst all this is happening the Monstrous League of Monsters begin to receive mysterious letters that indicate that they know about Theodora, and know that they're breaking the rules by raising her. Threatenign to out them to the rest of the MLM, they and Theodora try to find out who's sending the letters, the person who wants to break their family apart. Theodora goes to Appleton Primary School, where Ms Frumple has obviously been taking lessons in being a head teacher from the Trunchbull. We don’t like Ms Frumple. At all. Gracias a esta lectura descubrimos la importancia de la familia y los amigos en tiempos difíciles, y nos brinda la oportunidad de divertirnos con una original aventura.It's just shy of midnight on Halloween and in an unmarked grave in an abandoned cemetery, a tiny human, swaddled in blankets is wailing like a banshee. A zombie named George Hendrix claws his way out of the earth and he and his best friend Bandit, a masked vampire cat rescue the baby and take her to a sprawling mansion in the village of Appleton, Pumpkinshire. But this is no ordinary mansion...it is in fact occupied by the Monstrous League of Monsters (MLM) and they vow to take care of the baby. About Theodora Hendrix y el curioso caso del escarabajo maldito / Theodora Hendrix and the Curious Case of the Cursed Beetle There’s also been someone delivering threatening letters to the Monstrous League of Monsters, someone who knows they’ve broken one of the rules of the Monstrous League of Monsters Charter. 1. Keep monsters hidden from humans

Theodora was a baby, abandoned in a perilous graveyard, who was rescued by Georgie. A zombie. A weird start to this book, and it only gets weirder as you continue – and it’s wonderful! The characters were all so fun to meet, and again I just really enjoyed the humorous take on monsters and spooky things. Hugely RecommendedIt’s just shy of midnight on Halloween and in an unmarked grave in an abandoned cemetery, a tiny human, swaddled in blankets is wailing like a banshee. A zombie named George Hendrix claws his way out of the earth and he and his best friend Bandit, a masked vampire cat rescue the baby and take her to a sprawling mansion in the village of Appleton, Pumpkinshire. But this is no ordinary mansion…it is in fact occupied by the Monstrous League of Monsters (MLM) and they vow to take care of the baby. But no one can ever know that she’s at the Monstrous League of Monsters mansion (it’s haunted, of course) or else there will be consequences for her monster kin. “Harbouring a human is punishable by death” Okay, really serious consequences.

Shelley y Ratsputin han venido a espiar a la Monstruosa Liga de los Monstruos y están decididos a crear problemas en todo momento. Entonces Theodora hace un descubrimiento propio: un escarabajo maldito. Necesita destruirlo sin llamar la atención del inspector, y rápido. Lo que está en juego no podría ser más importante: si Theodora falla, su amada familia de monstruos se pudrirá en las cárceles más húmedas y oscuras de Transilvania. Someone who knows this more than anyone is Theodora Hendrix. She was found in a graveyard one night just before midnight. People of her town avoided this eerie place as it was thought to be haunted. So who was it who found her?This book is in all our 8-11 4 book boxes until the end of August. Buy one of those here or buy a copy of this wonderful book from here! We love stories about how diverse family can be. But the first rule of the MLM Charter is "Keep monsters hidden from humans' and when a series of anonymous letters (sealed with earwax) arrive, it seems that someone has discovered their secret and they threaten to tear Theodora from her beloved family of beasts. Brave Theodora, assisted by her first-ever human friend Dexter Adebola must solve the mystery of the menacing letters and save her family. I highly recommend this cute children’s book. Especially for Geronimo Stilton and Hotel Transylvania fans! Despite being full of monsters and creatures the book tells a very human story, and focuses on family. Theodora might not be related to any of the MLM members, not even the same species in a lot of cases, but it's the love they all have for each other that makes them a family, and is the reason they'd all do whatever it takes to stay together. a könyv Geronimo Stiltonra hasonlított. Nagy betűk, sok-sok illusztráció, amik mellesleg nagyon jól néztek ki. Nekem bejött. Ezenkívül a sztori nekem annyira Hotel Transylvaniát juttatta eszembe, akik szeretik a filmeket, ajánlom nekik ezt a könyvet. A történet jópofa volt, bár kicsit kiszámítható. Nagyon tetszett ez a sötét hangulatú szörnyes mese.

Theodora Hendrix is a great book for younger fans of spooky stories, who want humour alongside their monsters. A perfect halloween read.I’m really looking forward to the next instalment of Theodora Hendrix and her Monstrous league of Monsters, especially as our narrator has dropped hints that we’re ‘agents in training…’ Equally, I was left puzzling over the identity of Theodora’s birth parents and the reasons why she was left in the graveyard – there are so many unanswered questions, there just has to be another book in the series! I can’t be left hanging like this! Although full of monsters, this book is also full of fun illustrations showing the action but taking the 'scare' away from it. Theodora's family are supportive and loving and one of my faves was definitely Mummy who had adopted the title seriously, looking out for everyone in their chaotic household - especially Theodora. Theodora Hendrix egy cuki, szórakoztató, szörnyes történet. A főszereplőnk egy kislány, akit szörnyek neveltek fel. Az iskolában jött egy új diák, aki barátkozik vele, közben pedig fura dolgok történnek a szörnyek világában is. Fast forward 10 years and the baby, Theodora Hendrix is unperturbed by her unconventional upbringing and has ingratiated herself in her adopted family. We are introduced to the most marvellous cast of monstrous family members. There’s Helter-Skelter the skeleton butler, Theodora’s mum ‘Mummy’ the, well, Egyptian mummy, Hamlet the skull, Mousetrap the crow and Figaro the operatic ghost to name but a few. Sherman the spider (well actually he’s a tarantula), is Theodora’s dapper arachnid associate. Suited and booted in a top hat and a monocle on each of his 8 eyes he is loyal to a fault – in this case man’s best friend is most definitely monstrous! The concept is really clever and the characters were reminiscent of The Addams Family or The Munsters.
