Book description
For fans of AMARI AND THE NIGHT BROTHERS and THE MARVELLERS, Alby C. Williams' debut middle grade fantasy is a sweeping adventure filled with monsters, mysteries, and mischief. Eleven-year-old Glory Brown is desperate for adventure far from her family's quaint, quiet life at The Light Inn. Generations of Browns have been stewards of this humble hotel, which acts as a sanctuary in the stretch of monster-filled land called the Seam. But Glory wants nothing more than to learn how to use her Moxie, a special magic only kids have, and to train to become a Spherinaut like her mother, exploring and documenting the perilous depths of the Outersphere. When a mysterious boy named Marcus appears one day on a top-secret mission for the Parliamentarium - the school for aspiring Spherinauts - Glory packs up her beloved books and sets off on a once-in-a-lifetime journey that will shuttle her across time and space...and reveal new dangers lurking in the worlds beyond the Seam. For there's mischief afoot that's threatening the balance between the worlds, its magic, and its monsters. And it's up to Glory to find a solution before it's too late. Review"The magic in Glory's world is like nothing I've read before. It shimmers when you least expect it, so that you catch your breath and steel yourself to take a step into the Outersphere." Marti Dumas, author of the Wildseed Witch trilogy Review"A twisting maze of intrigue and adventure, Where There Be Monsters has kindness and comfort at its core. Readers will be sucked into the outersphere, an intricate world of light and shadow, by magic, monsters, and Glory's insatiable curiosity!" Anna Meriano, author of Love Sugar Magic About the AuthorAlby C. Williams hails from the land of snow and salt potatoes. They are a storyteller, poet, and artist of dubious skill but endless enthusiasm. If you catch them in their spare time, you might mistake them for a cat based on the amount of yarn in their immediate vicinity, but don't be fooled -- they're actually several pigeons in a trench coat.
