Gorilla Tactics-Dr. Critchlore's School for Minions

Gorilla Tactics-Dr. Critchlore's School for Minions
By: Sheila Grau 

 

 

This is one of the best children's books I have this year, the series reminds me of the Falcon Quinn chronicles which I really enjoyed.
It's a fresh take on monsters/minions, its a fantasy, school filled with everyday school issues and rivalries and a secret that gets uncovered which I never saw coming. I thoroughly  recommend

 

it's about:

 

 Runt Higgins needs answers, fast. Someone cursed him to die on his sixteenth birthday, but no one seems to know who cursed him or why. Runt decides he must find the Great Library, where all true knowledge is hidden. Unfortunately, the only people who know the location of the Great Library are a covert network of librarian-spies who’d rather die than give up the Library’s secrets. And when one of Runt’s professors is attacked, it soon becomes clear that others are also out to find the Library at any cost. Meanwhile, Runt’s not the only one whose days are numbered. To save the floundering school from an inevitable sale, Dr. Critchlore takes some desperate measures. His master plan to save the school: a fashion show.
