Bloomsbury presents The Boy Who Hatched Monsters by T.C. Shelley, read by Jot Davies.

Sam’s life has always been strange. After all, his family have no idea that he’s half monster, half fairy.

But now he’s keeping an even bigger secret. He alone has the power to bring monsters to life! (He’s even got a tiny gargoyle hatchling hidden in his sock drawer.)

When Queen Maggie finds out, she’s delighted. She wants Sam to create her a whole new legion of vile ogres.

When he refuses, she vows that she will destroy everything Sam holds dear. And so the stage is set for a final battle, one that will determine not just Sam’s future, but that of the whole of monsterkind …

The conclusion to T.C. Shelley's magical fantasy trilogy is perfect for fans of Jennifer Bell, Sophie Anderson and Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book.©2022 T.C. Shelley (P)2022 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Critic Reviews

Shelley is a first-time novelist who writes with the confidence of an old hand. The plot never flags, but characters have time to develop, and even Shelley’s most outlandish creations are rendered believable by her descriptive precision … A treat.
This story is quite simply beautifully written and will make us all believe in monsters of all shapes and sizes
There are plenty of shocks and frightening moments in store in this engrossing story
