Synopses & Reviews
Every night before she goes to bed, Amanda is sure there's a monster hiding in her room. Maybe it's lurking in the closet. Or behind the curtains. Or even under her bed! Or perhaps her brother Oliver is right, and there are no such things as monsters. In four easy-to-read chapters Amanda tries everything from reciting poetry to building monster traps, until she finds the perfect way to conquer her fears. A delightful addition to the Amanda and Oliver Pig series, Jean Van Leeuwen and Ann Schweninger have created an exciting yet reassuring tale about being brave and growing up.
