The Monster and the Clown

A$18 · Offered by Harry Hartog Rare Books

Frank must outwit a ghoulish clown, ringleader of the monstrous circus, in this just-scary-enough illustrated chapter book series about a warm-hearted werewolf trying to find his pack. The people of Yrred are terrified of monsters, and fear is spreading like wildfire. So when Kruger the Clown comes to town, they leap at his offer to catch the creatures haunting Yrred and force them to perform at his circus. Only Frank knows the town's secret-and his own. He is the monster they're all afraid of. But he's also a nine-year-old boy, who has finally found friends like him. Frank and his monster friends must reveal the truth of Kruger's cruel circus before the hateful plan takes hold. The Monster and the Clown is a spine-tingling adventure about a creepy clown, a daring rescue, and having the courage to stand up for what's right.
