Genre: Fantasy, Adventure

About the Book: A monstrously funny debut from the new star of middle-grade adventure. Ages: 9+ 

There are towns where the border between our world and the world of monsters - properly called Legends - is thin. One of those towns is Darkmouth. 

There, our hero Finn is the son of the last remaining Legend Hunter - which means that one day soon he will be the last remaining Legend Hunter. 

Except... he's a bit rubbish at it. And in a spectacularly unfortunate coincidence, the terrifying leader of the monsters is in the midst of planning an all out attack on earth... in Darkmouth.

Do I Recommend this book? Yes yes yes!

Notes and Opinions: I've been reading a lot of middle grade books lately (I prefer YA and NA) and they are surprising me with how good they are! Darkmouth was filled with funny and lovable characters! I love the authors writing style. It grabs you in from the beginning and just doesn't let go. Finn is such an adorable baby and I just want to hug him. He's not perfect so he makes mistakes and isn't WONDERFUL at everything. This book is non-stop humor and action, my two favorite things. It reads smoothly and you won't even realize you've finished it until it's too late. Books 2-4 are on my TBR list.
