Nelly Rapp and the Monster Academy is the first stand-alone book in Martin Widmark’s cozy series about monster agent Nelly Rapp, now with new illustrations rich in color and full of humor by Emil Maxén.

When Nelly has to go with mom and dad to dinner at uncle Hannibal’s, strange things happen. While searching for the toilet, Nelly ends up in the attic where she comes face to face with Lena-Sleva, a teacher at the Monster Academy, eagerly awaiting her tenth student. What Nelly first thought would be a boring grown-up dinner turns into an exciting adventure where, with the help of the three C’s: calmness, cleverness and cunning, she has to figure out how best to tackle a bloodthirsty vampire – one who suffers from a toothache, to boot! Scary, funny and easy to read for beginner readers.
