Via TBM guest blogger, John Dougherty… Not knowing where the eight authors were being held prisoner, I figured the best way of finding them was to go through the monster underworld. This isn’t easy to do, but fortunately Cherry and I have Bernard on our side. Bernard’s a monster, but he’s one of the good [...]

From Jack Slater, Monster Investigator (I)
Via TBM guest blogger, John Dougerty… Cherry and I get a lot of messages on our website asking for help. Most of them turn out to be hoaxes, so when I got an email from some guy calling himself Tommy Donbavand, I was sure it was fake. I mean, what kind of a name is [...]

I had heard that brilliant children’s author Andrew Norriss (CRTL-Z, WOOF! UNLUCKIEST BOY IN THE WORLD) was going to attempt a rescue.

The Rescue Attempt – Part 4
From TBM Guest Blogger, Elizabeth Kay… There was a lot of snow in Poland when I arrived to pursue my quest, which was to consult another monster about the best way of rescuing the authors trapped in the cave. In fact, it snowed every single day I was there. The monster I went to see [...]
