Some monsters only kids can see

You're not imagining it.
And you're not the only one who sees it.

A five-book adventure about the monsters that live in ordinary schools — what makes them, what feeds them, and the four small moves that starve them.

First, the three thoughts
"If I tell, I'm a snitch — and it'll only get worse." "Nobody's going to believe me." "Maybe it's me. Maybe there's something wrong with me."
You're not wrong to be scared. Telling is scary. That's not a flaw in you — that's just the actual size of the thing. This is a story for people who know all three thoughts by heart.

Sam is eleven and having a completely normal Tuesday, right up until he looks out of the window of the number 12 bus and sees something crouched on the roof of the bike shed. It's the size of a fridge. It's the colour of a bruise. And it is eating — slowly, happily — off the boy in the seat behind him.

Nobody else looks up. That's the bad news. The worse news: it notices him noticing.

Because monsters aren't born. They're made — out of what people say. Every joke that isn't a joke. Every group chat at one in the morning. Every laugh that runs three seconds too long. Something eats all of it, and grows, and comes back hungrier.

Then Sam, Theo and June work out the thing that changes everything: the monsters have stopped eating. They've started counting — ticking off names, keeping a list, delivering what they collect to something behind the last door in B-hall. Something nobody has ever seen. Something that is getting faster.

The rule of the Sight

Once you can see them, they can see you. There is no unseeing it, and there is no sitting this one out.

The rule of the feed

A monster grows on your reaction. Which is a problem, because "just ignore it" is rubbish advice and everyone knows it.

What's been missing since 1987—and why is it pointing at you?
The last book, the real enemy, and a fight that cannot be won by fighting. Every code, clue and easter egg planted since Book 1, Chapter 1 pays off here.

Sam never becomes brave. He stays scared the entire way through — he just stops doing it on his own. Nobody here gets a right move on the first try, nobody claps when they finally manage it, and every one of them does it with their voice shaking. By the end Sam has four moves that actually work on monsters — and he didn't get them off a poster in the corridor. Scared and strong were never opposites.
