There's a storm brewing over Eerie-on-Sea, and the fisherfolk say a monster is the cause. Someone has woken the ancient Gargantis, who sleeps in the watery caves beneath this spooky seaside town where legends have a habit of coming to life. But seaside towns aren’t the only places where legends come to life. There are spooky creatures in the library too! Craft your own creepy critter and then challenge other monsters in a battle of wits to find out what goes Bump in the Library!
Featured Book: Gargantis by Thomas Taylor
