Nell & the Netherbeast by Adi Rule (Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2023)NH children's author Adi Rule is back with a funny and fantastical middle grade reader!
The
Netherbeast, a slinking creature with an overwhelming stench,
impossibly charms young Nell. Befriending this shapeshifter propels Nell
into an unforgettable summer. A beast, a haunting, a fire, and a
basement that should be avoided at all costs are just part of the
adventures Nell didn’t ask for. This story is equal parts heart-pounding
and heartwarming.
Twelve-year-old Nell Stoker loves
animals. She’s been working toward becoming a junior volunteer at her
local animal shelter for what feels like forever. But now it’s
summertime, and her parents are making her go to her Aunt Jerry’s old
bed and breakfast in Deer Valley with her older sister Lulu. When Nell
crosses paths with the Netherbeast (a creature that is decidedly not a
cat), his hijinks leave her wondering if she’s made a new best friend
or if Netherbeast will destroy the whole B&B (not even by accident).
It's up to Nell to help save her aunt's B&B and solve the mystery
of what might be in the basement. Between the mysteries of Rose Cottage
and the creepy Netherbeast—Nell is in for an unforgettable summer
adventure.-- Publisher's blurb
