The Monsters of Rookhaven
Pádraig Kenny
'Humans, as is there wont, have a terrible habit of making a mess of everything.'
Mirabelle has always known she is a monster. When the glamour protecting her unusual family from the human world is torn and an orphaned brother and sister stumble upon Rookhaven, Mirabelle soon discovers that friendship can be found in the outside world.
But as something far more sinister comes to threaten them all, it quickly becomes clear that the true monsters aren't necessarily the ones you can see.
A thought-provoking, chilling and beautifully written novel, Pádraig Kenny's The Monsters of Rookhhaven, stunningly illustrated by Edward Bettison, explores difference and empathy through the eyes of characters you won't want to let go.

Reviews for The Monsters of Rookhaven
Telegraph
One of a kind. Utterly fantastic.
Eoin Colfer on TIN
Full of empathy, anger, sorrow and love, this is a robot story squarely focused on what it means to be human
Guardian on TIN
Tin is a remarkably assured debut novel, full of imagination, and his fascinating mechanicals are as carefully crafted as the plot
Irish Independent
Kenny is adept at harnessing the potential for child-pleasing humour… His characterization is a particular strength
