Louisa wanted, more than anything, to be an ordinary child - the sort who worried about homework, misplaced socks, and whether pudding would be served after dinner. Unfortunately, Louisa's nights were anything but ordinary. That was when the monsters came. Not the polite sort that stayed under beds where they belonged, but the bold, bothersome kind that crept into corners, whispered in the dark, and left her heart thumping like an old steam train.
Naturally, no one believed her. Grown-ups, Louisa had noticed, were terribly busy thinking about sensible things, and had very little time for the important business of listening to children.
Then, one day, Louisa met a most unusual adult - the sort who confessed, in a rather matter-of-fact way, that he, too, had monsters in his life.
Things were about to get weird. This is the story of Louisa's adventure with the monsters.
