Can Max and his friends work out what’s happening to protect his family and the local community? Things aren’t looking good - the Marmalade Ghost is turning into a gloopy Godzilla, Max falls out with his (joint) best friend, and then, just when it can’t get any worse, someone kidnaps Max’s cat, Frankenstein... will they meet a sticky end?  Time to ‘Protect and Do Good Stuff!’ Purchase Links https://fireflypress.co.uk/books/monster-max-and-the-marmalade-ghost/   https://www.amazon.co.uk/Monster-Marmalade-Ghost-Robin-Bennett-ebook/dp/...
