Grumpfort is brilliant! A thoroughly charming tale of found family, friendship and monsters with so many surprises along the way. It's not just an illustrated book - it's a book that gives the pictures freedom to tell the story. * Louie Stowell, author of Loki *
Chaotic, hilarious and full of heart, Grumpfort had me in stitches! Perfect for fans of How to Train Your Dragon and Grimwood, Grumpfort is jam-packed with trolls, gnomes, snotwoggles and sausage rolls! * Jennifer Bell, author of Wonderscape *
A monstrously funny adventure filled with tension, booby-traps and unexpected friendships. * Mel Taylor-Bessent, author of The Christmas Carrolls *
A hilarious adventure in a world where monsters have hearts, heroes have quirks and every page is bursting with fun. * Jenny Pearson, author of Shipwrecked *
Bursting with breath-taking illustrations, hilarious jokes, monsters with attitude, a grumpy sidekick and an outrageously fun plot - it's hard not to get sucked into the charm of Grumpfort and I'm not sure I ever want to leave. I loved it! * Ryan Hammond, author of Villains Academy *
This book. WOW. It's this generation's HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON with a sprinkling of Dahl-esque wordplay and humour. But even that is underselling this marvellous debut - for it is wholly original and packed full of snort-inducing giggles and adventure and unexpected friendship and owning up to and learning from your mistakes. I devoured it (monstrously, of course) in one sitting. * Laura Noakes, author of Cosima Unfortunate Steals a Star *
Warm, funny and just the right amount of scary. Grumpfort had me gripped from the very first page. * Rachel Chivers Khoo, author of The Wishkeeper's Apprentice *
This fun-filled adventure combines Hammond's vibrant illustrations and clever storytelling to offer young readers a tale of courage and friendship. * School Reading List *
