Holomonsters Lee Newbery 9780241745724

Pokemon meets Jurassic World in this fantastic, action-packed new series.

Welcome to the world of Holomonsters - a game like no other . . .

In Holomonsters, the fantastical creatures depicted on game cards are projected into the real world as holograms, to do battle in playgrounds, homes and TV studios around the world. These holomonsters look completely real but are harmless projections.

But when superfan Newt Hawkin is invited to Holomonsters Global HQ to beta test a new form of the game, he soon discovers not all is as it seems. The holomonsters here seem more real than before - and increasingly unpredictable.

Soon Newt learns that the engineers behind Holomonsters are using magic to enhance the game to dangerous new levels. Can Newt stop them before the holomonsters break free from their creators' control for good . . . ?

Lee Newbery lives with his son and dog in a seaside town in West Wales. By day he works for an arts charity, helping people to share their stories through creative writing, painting and participatory arts, and by night he sits down at his laptop to write.

Lee enjoys adventuring, drinking ridiculous amounts of tea, and giving his dog a good cuddle - or a cwtch, as they say in Wales. His first book, The Last Firefox, was shortlisted for the Waterstones Children's Book Prize.
