Russell Troy, Monster Boy — A Magic Shop Book

Boy's magic ring mishap sparks monstrous adventure.

If you're into a blend of the extraordinary with everyday school life, "Russell Troy, Monster Boy" might just tickle your fancy. Imagine the thrill of embracing your inner monster, the fun, and the chaos it would cause in the school corridors. But Bruce Coville isn't just about the laughter; he weaves in that crucial lesson about reading the fine print, all amidst a backdrop of a mysteriously transient magic shop. It's a fantastical jaunt that reminds us to be careful what we wish for.

Description

Mr Elives' Magic Shop seems to appear from nowhere - and disappears again just as fast! Never in the same place twice, it sells only the most exclusive wares...A talking toad, anyone? A dragon's egg? There's plenty to choose from...When Russell buys a magic ring from weird Mr Elives, he's told it will turn him into a monster. Just the thing for school! Russell's sure it's all a stupid trick - until he whispers the chant, twists the ring and begins to sprout horns...At first it's fun changing from boy to monster and back again, but Russell hasn't paid proper attention to the instructions - and now he's gone too far...
