Here Be Monsters! by Alan Snow
3.0
I think I read about this book on Tumblr because it was to be made into an animated feature film and it sounded interesting.
I don't even know how to describe this book. It takes place in Ratbridge and the adventure begins when Arthur, equipped with his wings and flying box, comes up from underground where he lives with his adoptive grandfather. Boxtrolls and cabbageheads also live underground. Arthur has come up to find food. Stealing bananas is the beginning of his trouble.
The formerly defunct Cheese Guild is secretly at work again, rounding up cheeses and melting them in order to serve the Great One.
I know. I know. This sounds bizarre, and it is, but it was also an interesting story.
There are over 500 black and white drawings to help illustrate the story.
I do like strange books, and this one is definitely in that category!
