The great monster

From the bestselling author of Horrible Histories, named 'the outstanding children's non-fiction author of the 20th century' by Books For Keeps_______________Ideal for readers aged 7+Mesopotamia, 2500 years agoEveryone in the tribe must work; all the men go hunting for bulls and mountain lions - apart from Sin-leqi, that is.

Sin-leqi stays home and reads tablets in the great temples.

The tablets tell tales of the legendary Gilgamesh, tales that are so fantastical that lazy Sin-leqi doesn't have to work, as long as he keeps telling them.

But when the story comes to end, Sin-leqi is in trouble... A brand new and exciting tale, based on real historical and archaeological evidence, this story is full of Terry Deary's imaginative style and dry wit. Book band: Grey________________‘Bubbling with wit, language play and robust dialogue....just the right mix of ingredients to trigger young readers' interest in all things historical’ - Books For Keeps
