What is The Monster from Underground about?
Bomber Wilson is brilliant at football, video games and almost everything else, but he cannot stand writing. When his teacher sets the class a week-long nature diary, Bomber expects nothing but boredom. Then strange things begin happening near the huge road excavation beside his home. As he investigates mysterious tracks and nocturnal noises, he uncovers an astonishing creature hidden underground. Suddenly, Bomber’s diary becomes far more exciting than he imagined—and may even lead to a story in the newspaper.
