'Forget about goblins. Forget about elves, Forget about unicorns and trolls. But don't ever forget about monsters. Forgetting about a monster is just about the worst thing you can do. Because monsters will never forget about you...
'Jasper McPhee has been expelled from schools countless times. The Monstrum House School for Troubled Children is his last chance.
'It looks like a normal school. All the parents who send their kids there think it's a normal school. What everyone doesn't realise is that Monstrum House is actually a place that trains kids to be monster hunters. And the monsters aren't cute and cuddly. They lurk under beds and in the school basement, some scare kids, some eat kids, and some morph them into stone.
'It's no use telling your parents that the school is making you catch monsters. And after being expelled from schools time and time again, who would believe you?' (From the publisher's website.)
