The Mumbs - H. B. Wilding

. .

Résumé :
Children shouldn't know about the Mumbs (the Monsters Under My Bed), but they want to know us. These enchanted guardians are tasked to protect children from an ancient, caged evil-desiring freedom and conquering all worlds. Bea, Zea, Ravi and Tumi were four different potential-heroes from three different worlds. All but one had problems. One had no friends, but not from a lack of trying. Another had many but they were all horrible bullies and the last was the classic, awkward nerd. Tumi though had little experience of problems but was going to learn the hard way that they are an unfortunate part of being human. After they break the rules of the Inbetween (the magical enforcement agency) they have to go rescue their Mumbs, but it's not as simple as that. They also have to go to the Everblight to save Tumi's parents and own Mumb who had been kidnapped by the Shadowed Man, a servant of the Old Evil. They are given their mission by the brilliant but batty Granny Wild-the mysterious & magical destiny-shaper. Nothing goes to plan though-it never does. So they are forced to improvise along the way to reach their goals. Unfortunately they also find out that victory can be bittersweet.
