When Petronella Morton puts an ad in the local newspaper for ‘MONSTER SITTING AFTER SCHOOL AND WEEKEND’S, ‘little does she know that her phone will begin to ring AND RING AND RING AND RING! Nelly soon discovers that there are families of monsters living secretly all over the Montelimar Estate! Whether it’s trying to keep Slop the Squurm entertained, walking the Grerks’ pedigree gog, Glug, or solving a bank robbery with the help of three little Water Greeps, Nelly’s always got her hands full! Join her at three different addresses, for three monstrously different monster sitting adventures!

Cowcumbers, Pipplewaks and Altigators

Nelly’s phone is still ringing with lots more monster sitting requests – and each one is full of strange surprises! From helping Altigators face their fears, battling venomous Tooth Furries, to taking care of Pipplewak eggs – Nelly’s monster-sitting adventures are as unpredictable and exciting as ever!

Huffaluks, Muggots and Thermitts

Nelly’s monster sitting adventures are always full of surprises. She certainly can’t believe it when she sits a monster who wants to do absolutely nothing! Or when she has to rescue the smallest monster she’s encountered yet but nothing can prepare her for spending Christmas Day with the Dendrilegs!

Daisy and the Trouble with Life

You absolutely can’t go anywhere at all when you’re grounded, so Daisy has plenty of time to think about what she’s done. If only her pocket money hadn’t run out and if someone hadn’t dropped a strawberry candy on the pavement and if strawberry candy wasn’t Daisy’s absolute favorite, things could have turned out differently. Who knew that it had invisible red germs that are so totally teensy and that Auntie Sue says give you tummy trouble? Daisy’s trips to the bathroom are interspersed with hilarious musings about the trouble with everything, from her goldfish Freddie who thinks it’s a dolphin, to the school name caller Jack Beechwhistle, and garden hoses that don’t do as they’re told. Now, if only Daisy can find a word to rhyme with hippopotamus, she and Gabby can magically turn her next door neighbor’s cat into a hippo. When she’s un grounded and off the toilet, of course.

Daisy and the Trouble with Zoos

Mom has invited Daisy’s best friends, Gabby and Dylan, on a trip to the zoo and, best of all, Mom has arranged for Daisy to go into the actual penguin cage with the actual zoo keeper and feed actual penguins real penguins, with beaks and everything! Trouble is, Daisy doesn t just feed the penguins, she adopts one to take home and everything.

Daisy and the Trouble with Giants

Daisy has decided she wants to meet a real giant! If Daisy met a real giant he’d pick Daisy up and put her on his shoulder and they’d have giant adventures!

Trouble is, if you want to meet a giant you need a magic bean. And finding magic beans can be troublesome. The trouble with giants is they really shouldn’t live at the top of magic beanstalks. If giants didn’t live at the top of magic beanstalks then Daisy is convinced that she wouldn’t be in big trouble again!
