Nelson Green's life will never be the same. While hiding
in a box to avoid performing in his schools theatrical, Nelson overhears the
worst news ever. His sister Celeste has gone missing while on a class
trip. With authorities scouring the area for clues, Nelson decides to
take matters into his own hands. Determined to find his sister and save
her at any cost, Nelson enlists the help of seven deadly monsters. From a
bed of nails in St. Paul's Cathedral in London, to riding cows through the
rainforests of Brazil, Nelson's journey to find his sister is an adventure he
will never forget.
This quirky British tale was a blast to read. Nelson's
outrageous escapades will have readers laughing out loud. With a young
relatable male protagonist and a large dose of humor this book will appeal to a
wide range of readers especially boys.
