Monsters
Set in the Cornish town of Fowey, all is not as idyllic as the beautiful seaside town might seem. The body of a young woman is discovered in the nets of a fishing boat. It is established that the woman was murdered. Most are shocked and horrified.
But there is somebody who is notâa twelve-year-old girl. She is delighted as she loves murders. She starts her own personal investigation, but just when it starts getting boring, 12-year-old Miles Giffard arrives in town. Luckily, he is just as odd as she is, and they start investigating together. Oh, and also playing games that re-enact the murders. Just for fun, you understand...
Monsters is a book about two twelve-year-olds that is definitely not for "kids". A brilliantly unsettling and darkly-humoured story with plenty of murder in Emerald's unique gothic style.
