Nelly the Monster Sitter #1: The Grerks at No. 55

Six-legged Gogs. Oozy orange Squurms. All in a day’s work for a monster-sitter! If monsters are real, how come you’ve never seen one? Answer: because they never go out. So – why don’t monsters go out? Because they can’t get a babysitter! But when Nelly rings a monster family’s doorbell, offering her services as a sitter, that all changes in a flash. Ever played catch with a six-legged Gog, or made pancakes with an oozy orange Squurm? Nelly has – and every job she takes has monstrous surprises in store!
