At Cheltenham Festival there's a Monster in the Hood!
Cheltenham Festival was such fun. My event was based on Monster in the Hood and Betty Goes Bananas. The audience were brilliant and so were their Monster drawings! Below are some pictures and a couple of tweets from the day.

Monster in the Hood - A Bookseller June Highlight
It's always a thrill to discover a review, and it's even more exciting when it's the first review of an upcoming book. Below is a press cutting from The Bookseller. MONSTER IN THE HOOD was one of Fiona Noble's June highlights. MONSTER IN THE HOOD is out first in the UK on June 3rd.
The Monster in the Hood is about to rock your world
The woods are SO 2000.
Waterstones, Salisbury
This monster lives in a gritty neighbourhood deep in the city. And everyone is scared of him. Everyone except an exceptionally brave trio of street-smart friends, that is.
But you should NEVER, EVER judge a book by its cover, especially if the book happens to be about a rumbly, grumbly, and very hungry monster.
I cannot tell you how excited I am about this book! I don’t want to give away too much, but it’s SO much fun to read out loud - and although it’ll make you SCREECH and SQUEAL I guarantee you’ll fall in love with the fuzzy one-eyed monster.
The book won’t drop until June in the UK via Oxford University Press - but I wanted to let you know that you can now pre-order it online HERE.
