Description

When a monster's appetite for darkness prevents Jo-Jo from sleeping he discovers that there's more to life than eating...There is a tiny monster under Jo-Jo's bed, who discovers he likes to eat darkness; and the more darkness he eats, the bigger and hungrier he grows. What will happen if the monster eats all the darkness in the world? 'Inventive' - "Daily Telegraph". Joyce Dunbar is the author of over thirty children's books including "This is the Star" and "Mouse Mole", now a popular TV series, and "Mundo the Weather-child", which was shortlisted for "The Guardian"'s Children's Fiction Award.
