About the book, from the publisher:
Nine-year-old Pru has many hobbies: inventing things, collecting stuff, and learning new and interesting words.Visit Zoje Stage's website.
But her newest passion is discovering the source of the weird sounds she hears at night—coming from beneath her bed. Ever since she was very little, Pru suspected there might be a special kind of creature making a home in her room. But because UnderSlumberBumbleBeasts only come out in the dark, she had never seen one.
That all changes one day after Pru's mom asks her to clean her room—an ordinary request that sets off an extraordinary chain of events. And Pru's life will never be the same.
First depicted in the international sensation Baby Teeth, a novel for adults, My UnderSlumberBumbleBeast is a quirky and charming story about a girl with a most unusual way of making new friends. Watch what grows underneath the bed…
