"Grumpfort is brilliant! Thoroughly charming." Louie Stowell, author of Loki"Perfect for fans of How to Train Your Dragon and Grimwood." Jennifer Bell, author of WonderscapeMeet 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!

As well as writing and illustrating his own books, Jamie Hammond is a designer of many famous children's books. He grew up in Sheffield but now lives in Cambridgeshire with his husband and his pug. GRUMPFORT is his first book, which he wrote to celebrate bravery, friendship, being kind and being unique, and to reflect the characters he wished he'd grown up with.
