A thrilling story well told. This book follows the adventures of Cat, the youngest in a class of monster-slaying Scots. I can see younger readers getting very into this, especially if the series expands. There's quite a bit of violence and gore, which may put off some parents and teachers, although it is never gratuitious. Less confident and EAL/D readers may struggle with the colloquialisms which appear frequently (like scart for scared), but this could also be a good teaching opportunity to guide readers on how accents and localities are revealed through text.

The concept of location specific monsters is a fun one and I can’t wait to see how this idea developed through the series. As it is set in 1800’s Scotland, there are some words and terms that younger readers may have to look up or get help with. Overall, a fun read perfect for middle grade readers who are fans of fantasy and The Spiderwick Chronicles.
