Ein zweiter Auftrag für die Monsterjäger! Wenn Monster sich danebenbenehmen, müssen Monsterjäger ihnen das Handwerk legen (und entsprechende Umerziehungsmaßnahmen einleiten). Dass das nicht immer so einfach ist, erfahren Jack, seine beste Freundin Nancy und Stoop, der mürrische alte Monsterjäger, in ihrem zweiten Abenteuer. Sie machen sich auf den Weg nach Schottland, wo mysteriöse Monster in einer alten Abtei für Chaos sorgen. Doch als sie dort ankommen, stellen sich ihnen einige Hindernisse in den Weg - in Form von Nebelwichten, verärgerten Geistern, einigen sehr seltsamen Wassermonstern und sogar einer rivalisierenden Monsterjägeragentur. Oh, und dann ist da noch ein alter Fluch, der das Ende der Welt bedeutet!

Monster gibt es nicht?! Das dachte auch Jack, bis eines Tages ein Oger in seinem Garten auftauchte und seine Tante fressen wollte (die zwar total fies ist, aber deshalb muss man sie nicht gleich fressen). Nun ist er der neue Lehrling des 200 Jahre alten und schlecht gelaunten Monsterjägers Stoop. Gemeinsam sind sie auf dem Weg nach Cornwall, denn dort soll es noch mehr Oger geben, die Chaos anrichten. >Monsterjagen für Anfänger< verlassen. Und wie viele blutrünstige Monster kann es schon geben? Antwort: Einige! Der haarige Popelfresser ist besonders fies.

'A MONSTROUSLY FUNNY NEW VOICE,' MAZ EVANS, WHO LET THE GODS OUT? The second seriously silly adventure in the hilarious series that turns everything you thought you knew about monsters upside down! Perfect for young monster hunters aged 8+ and fans of Sam Copeland, Jenny Pearson and How to Train Your Dragon When the monsters start misbehaving it's a monster hunter's job to sort them out! In their second adventure Jack, his best friend Nancy and Stoop (a grumpy, 200-year-old monster hunter) head up to Scotland after reports of some mysterious monsters causing chaos in an ancient abbey. And maybe they'll even get a glimpse of Nessie! But when they get there they find some obstacles in their path - whether that's the fog goblins, disgruntled ghosts, some very odd loch monsters and even a rival monster hunting agency. Oh and there's also an ancient curse that spells THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT! A monster hunter's work is never done.

Everything comes easy for Zach Johnston. Only 24 years old, he's got it all-- the girl, the high paying tech job, and the rent-controlled apartment in the Village. But when his best friend overdoses and his girlfriend leaves him, his inability to connect with other people overwhelms him. Desperate to hide his pain from Amanda, the ex who met ';11 out of 13 criteria' on his friend's most important checklist, Zach plasters on a smile as he rejoins his single friends chasing girls at seedy bars and grungy apartments, hoping the emptiness inside him will disappear if he pretends it doesn't exist. As he descends into a haze of weed, booze, and hallucinogens, Zach recognizes his remaining friendships for what they are partnerships of convenience, forged long ago simply on the shared desire to get high and get laid, continuing to this day because the effort required to replace them is too great. He also turns his judgmental lens inwards and begins to understand the consequences of his one night stands and shameless flirting, and the perils of assuming everyone he meets is dumber than he is. At the peak of this crisis of confidence, Zach meets Zoey Mclemore, the beautiful, intelligent woman he has always told himself he could love and marry. Eating caramels sober with her is better than being drunk or high with anyone else. But when Zoey finds Zach drunk and alone with Amanda, he knows he must show Zoey he is ready to be an adult, or face never watching Spongebob with her again. Equal parts whimsical romantic comedy and cynical literary fiction, LOVE FROM AMANDA TO ZOEY is the story of a successful man who doesn't feel like he's successful or a man, and his struggle to understand the meanings of life and Zoey's latest text.
