Grimwood — Attack of the Stink Monster! By Nadia Shireen.
The third in the incredibly silly Grimwood series sees our heroes hunting for a smelly Bigfoot who is loitering with presumably horrid intent around their forest home.
Written and brilliantly illustrated by the author herself, Attack of the Stink Monster! is an entertaining tale of friendship, family, and checks notes the eating of small, cute, furry creatures by a terrifyingly taloned predator (though it’s the funny type of small, cute, furry, creatures consumption, not the gruesome sort).
The jokes come thick and fast, the silliness comes daft and progressively dafter.
At its heart, and Grimwood is full of heart, the book is not just a story absolutely packed with gags, both written and illustrated, but tenderness between wildly different characters. They accept each other for who they are (even if a peckish eagle gobbles up a pal or two along the way) and love each other despite their differences — not to mention the fact that most inhabitants are barking mad.
Nadia has created such a wonderful world, I can’t wait for the next one.
