Perfect for children learning to read, this is a wonderful story about
facing fears as a family from Anne Fine, a former Children's Laureate
whose awards include the Carnegie Medal and the Guardian Children's Book
Prize.
There's never been anything scary under the bed since I was born, and
there is nothing scary now. I really believe that. I keep believing it
for about five minutes. Then I get less sure.
Mum, Dad, Harry and Nana are at their wits' end. How can they prove to
Toby that there are no monsters under the bed, so that they can finally
get some sleep? Will a new bicycle help? Or a magic spell? Or does this
call for something completely different...?
