The Maker of Monsters (Paperback)

Praise for Mold and the Poison Plot: "Big-hearted friendships, thrills & spills, smells & spells, plus an action-packed ending!" "A wonderfully pongy adventure championing inclusivity & friendship!" "This is an exciting fantasy story with an array of wonderful characters, including the inimitable Mold, told in a fresh and distinctive voice by a promising new writer." "Full of ripe smells and perilous thrills, this is an engaging debut." "The ideas are inspired, the story is gripping and the characters are unique and totally believable." "The book is well paced, with lots of twists and turns and a showdown at the end which is so epic and tense... It's witty and well-thought out and the use of dialect in the writing would make for an excellent teaching point." "This is a fantasy story that will appeal to those who don't normally enjoy fantasy." "He is a wonderful creation: a loveable and funny character who takes you with him every step of the way on his big adventure." "Lorraine Gregory creates a fully fleshed-out fantasy world, full of wondrous creatures and horrible humans. The humour is earthy and the action bloody (gruesomely so, at points), and it all combines perfectly in this great read." "A wild, romping adventure with nods to Frankenstein, The Maker of Monsters is a joyfully imaginative children's story with very human themes of friendship and acceptance at its heart."
