Jealousy Monsters (Starlight Investigations, #1)

by Marnie Atwell

Overview

Force and Scout thought they had seen everything!

It had been three millennia since the Battle Stars had cleansed the planet from the most hideous of creatures that preyed upon the human race. The Gatherers, a select group of Battle Stars, had been left behind to protect the human race from any creatures that had not been captured during The Cleanse or had ventured to Earth by other means. These Gatherers were assisted by the Locator Fairies, who had the innate ability to determine the existence of the evil creatures and their location.

When Scout, an opinionated Locator Fairy, discovers the existence of a creature with a strange signature, she calls upon her favourite Gatherer, Force, to capture the creature for relocation. The pair soon discovers that six children have gone missing in the past six months and if the creature didn't change its method of operation, another child would be taken within the next couple of days.

In their race to prevent the creature from taking its next victim and discovering the location of the missing children, Force's and Scout's normal routine will be turned upside down and inside out. The rules that usually apply to capturing the creatures will not work on this type of monster and Scout finds herself trapped alongside the children she is trying to release. Their hopes for being saved rest completely on the shoulders of Force and a group of twelve-year-old children who are friends with the creature's latest victim.

But will it be enough?

About the Author

   I am an Australian author who lives in South-East QLD with my husband and two children.

 I love reading, writing, playing the keyboard and anything from the fantasy genre. The creative streak that runs through my psyche has entertained my family on many occasions. I love regaling them with stories from my dream world.

 I have spent many years as a teacher aide helping underprivileged students with basic numeracy and literacy skills. It is through my work at our local high school that I realised there are a lot of youth who are unable to read to an appropriate level.

This newfound knowledge encouraged me to believe that some of the stories I shared with my family might be interesting enough to encourage some of these students to begin the journey as a reader. It is my hope that these students are able to overcome their difficulties with language and  become life-long readers.
