From award-winning author Dave Shelton comes this delightfully witty, truly unique adventure, perfect for middle-grade readersRumour has it that there's a monster in the woods. But why doesn't anyone do something about it? Frith is determined to save the day, and with her hard-working dad, younger brother, Spuggy, and dog (called Cabbage), Frith will travel to the big city to convince the king that Something Must Be Done. Along the way, she'll encounter a Big Wise Head, a mysterious squirrel, and discover that, perhaps, not all is as it seems . . .
