"Worldbuilding reminiscent of How to Train Your Dragon is enriched by playful typography and lively b&w illustrations... Slapstick humor and timely lessons about questioning prejudice combine in this bustling jaunt." - Publishers Weekly
Meet Mo, the worst monster hunter ever, in this hilarious and highly illustrated adventure.
Mo never wanted to be a Warden - protecting the village of Bogfoss from the terrifying monsters in the woods is way too scary. But when he's beaten up by a goblin on his first patrol, he knows he has to prove himself.
So he sets out into the forbidden woods to catch himself a monster and make himself a hero. Instead he stumbles into GRUMPFORT, a secret monster fortress with a very big problem. The fearsome Grumpsnatcher is kidnapping the other monsters - and suddenly Mo's on a monster-hunt with a troll, a gnome and a fire-breathing snotwoggle to stop it!

Silly escapism that puts little monsters front and centre.
Worldbuilding reminiscent of How to Train Your Dragon is enriched by playful typography and lively b&w illustrations... Slapstick humor and timely lessons about questioning prejudice combine in this bustling jaunt.
Grumpfort is brilliant! A thoroughly charming tale of found family, friendship and monsters with so many surprises along the way. It's not just an illustrated book - it's a book that gives the pictures freedom to tell the story.
This adventure is packed with brilliant artwork, hilarious jokes and wonderfully wacky characters. It's about bravery, kindness and finding friends in the most unexpected of places.
Chaotic, hilarious and full of heart, Grumpfort had me in stitches! Perfect for fans of How to Train Your Dragon and Grimwood, Grumpfort is jam-packed with trolls, gnomes, snotwoggles and sausage rolls!
