Win The Awfully Bad Guide to Monster Housekeeping!

In Hoxton there’s a shop but it’s not just any old shop; it’s a monster shop. The Hoxton Street Monster Supplies store is London’s, if not the world’s, only purveyor of quality goods for monsters of every kind. It was originally established in 1818 but after closing for a much-needed refurbishment, reopened its doors to monsters and humans alike in 2010. If that wasn’t surprising enough, the monster shop reopened with a secret society lurking in its shadows. Behind the secret door of the Hoxton Street Monter Supplies lies The Ministry of Stories.

The Ministry of Stories is a volunteering organisation which helps young people with all manner of writing, through free one-to-one mentoring and writing workshops. During these projects the children are given the chance to express themselves through writing and are offered the opportunity to have their work published. So far, there have been two anthologies, a whole host of newspapers, a soap opera and today’s competition prize.

In celebration of the launch of the Monster Supplies online shop, we have a copy of The Awfully Bad Guide to Monster Housekeeping up for grabs.
