Synopsis
Men in Black meets the Ghostbusters meets monsters-under-the-bed in this hilarious tale for young readers.
Jack Slater is licensed to hunt out monsters who turn up under beds and terrorize small children. Armed with a high-powered torch (monsters hate the light) and a teddy (there is nothing monsters hate more than a favourite toy), he sets off down to Monster Underworld when he hears that the monsters are on the march.
