"Nine-year-old Prudencia—Pru for short—loves big words and her charming vocabulary is on full display in Zoje Stage's My UnderSlumber-BumbleBeast. Accompanied by gorgeous illustrations from J.E. Larson, this is the story of a girl and the not-so-scary monster who lives under her bed. Pru’s ingenuity and compassion shine when her little friend becomes a big problem and she has to set things right. A lovely, whimsical tale for younger middle grade readers, My Under-SlumberBumbleBeast is also a perfect bedtime read-aloud for smaller children who want a "big kid" story. I was delighted by My UnderSlumberBumbleBeast and kids and their grownups will be, too." 
- Lora Senf
Bram Stoker Award-winning author of the Blight Harbor books
"In My UnderSlumberBumbleBeast, Zoje Stage expertly weaves the tale of a child
who embraces what would scare other children – be it the creature under the bed or the monsters in the basement. With shades of Tim Burton and Neil Gaiman storytelling, and illustrations evoking Edward Gorey's style, My UnderSlumber-BumbleBeast unfolds as a slightly eerie narrative sure to captivate and intrigue young readers and their parents."
- Collen Rowan Kosinski
author of A Home Again, author/illustrator of Lilla's Sunflowers
