T.C. Shelley
A brilliantly rich and strange fantasy adventure that will make us all believe in monsters – be they good, bad or somewhere in between.
It is a well-known fact that fairies are born from a baby's first laugh. What is not as well documented is how monsters come into being …
This is the story of a creature who is both strange and unique. When he hatches down in the vast underground lair where monsters dwell, he looks just like a human boy – much to the disgust of everyone watching. Even the grumpy gargoyles who adopt him and nickname him ‘Imp’ only want him to steal chocolate for them from the nearby shops. He’s a child with feet in both worlds, and he doesn’t know where he fits.
But little does Imp realise that Thunderguts, king of the ogres, has a great and dangerous destiny in mind for him, and he’ll stop at nothing to see it come to pass …©2019 T.C. Shelley (P)2019 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
Wonderful and uplifting
