(She was the winner of the World's Worst Aunt competition, but that's Not The Point).After (sort of accidentally) defeating the ogre, Jack finds himself apprenticed to a grumpy, 200-year-old monster hunter called Stoop and heading off to Cornwall, where more ogres are causing havoc.All he has are his wits, his catapult and a magical - sometimes unreliable - book called Monster Hunting for Beginners.Jack's a bit worried he might not be the hero everyone's waiting for. But then again, how many terrifying, bloodthirsty monsters can there really be?(Answer: ABSOLUTELY LOADS. And a bear called Humbert)"--Publisher's website
