Monstera Deliciosa 1: Finders Keepers

By Anne Muhonen

When Alaska and her friends Skippy and Moussa find a peculiar stone and a small monstera plant outside, no one can guess where their discovery will lead them.

During the night, a strange creature suddenly appears in Alaska’s room, introducing itself as Monster Master NeyNey, the caretaker of monstera plants. When NeyNey notices the boys’ discovery of the stone, it becomes horrified: it is a judgement stone from the court of snakes. It has gone missing from its terrifying owner, and it must be returned immediately – before things go really wrong for everyone.

This all-ages comic combines the ordinary with the magical, inspiring readers to see their surroundings with fresh eyes.

Reviews

"Muhonen not only applies the old but also creates something entirely new. Muhonen draws airily and uses a faded colour palette."
