A one-of-a-kind tale of love loss laughter and hope from award-winning author Jenny Pearson.
There are a lot of different types of monster. Some live at the bottom of lochs some are found
far out at sea and some swim about in the depths of your mind and these can be the scariest
monsters of all - if you let them. Benji McLaughlin is a visionary. He believes in things that
other people think are impossible like that he and his brother Stanley will be happy in their
new home in Scotland and that the Loch Lochy monster exists and that his parents will come
home safely one day even though they've been missing for months. When he finds out that his
Uncle Hamish's Loch Lochy tourist business is struggling and it looks like Benji and Stanley
might lose another home Benji's not worried. He has a plan. If he can show everyone that the
Loch Lochy monster exists people will flock to come and see it and the business will flourish
again. Together with his new friend Murdy and Mr Dog the best dog in the world Benji sets off
to capture evidence of the monster even if he has to get a little creative. But Benji might
end up confronting more monsters than he expects. Praise for Jenny Pearson: SHORTLISTED FOR THE
