little shop of monsters No Place for Monsters : Little Nobody

\"Tim Burton meets Edward Gorey in Merritt’s extravagantly gothic figures and settings.\" —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

The third highly illustrated, paper-over-board book in the spellbinding series Jeff Kinney called “wildly imaginative and totally terrifying” finds Levi, Kat, and their friends caught in the grips of a lost child who is neither real nor imaginary. Can they escape?

Shhh, listen . . . hear that?

Is it the breeze in the tall grass?

Or is it . . . something—somebody—sinister?

The kids of Cowslip Grove are putting on a school play, and Kat, Levi, Donte, and their friends all have parts. But at rehearsal one day, a piece of chalk leaps up on its own and starts writing on the blackboard. Soon the kids learn they are being stalked by the mysterious \"Little Nobody\"—an invisible child with no memories.

As the kids begin to unravel the mystery behind Little Nobody, they accidentally reveal a strange and secret world—along with the true fates of many long-lost children and creatures.

But something else is watching: an undead enemy that hopes to manipulate Little Nobody into bringing great harm to Cowslip Grove. And it will take everything the children have to defeat it.

With illustrations on every page, the third book in the No Place for Monsters series continues to place readers inside the \"totally terrifying\" (Jeff Kinney), \"haunted garden\" (New York Times) imagination of Kory Merritt.
