About this listen

'A CHARMINGLY MONSTROUS DEBUT' T. Kingfisher, author of Nettle and Bone

'FULL OF MAGIC BUT EVEN MORE HEART' Kirkus (starred review)

Narrated by a lake-dwelling monster, Greenteeth is an utterly charming tale of fae, folklore and found family, perfect for fans of T. Kingfisher.

Beneath the still surface of a lake lurks a monster with needle sharp teeth. Hungry and ready to pounce . . .

Jenny Greenteeth has never spoken to a human before, but when a witch is thrown into her lake by an angry mob, something makes Jenny decide she's worth saving. Temperance doesn't know why her village has suddenly turned against her, only that it has something to do with the malevolent new pastor. All she wants is to return to her husband and children.

Though they have nothing in common, these two unlikely companions must band together on a magical quest to defeat the evil that threatens Temperance's family, Jenny's lake, and possibly the very soul of Britain.

'Charming, magical and intensely human . . . a masterclass in the art of storytelling'
Tom Holt, author of The Portable Door

'Greenteeth is a delight - a joyful, warm-hearted adventure, riddled with unique characters and poignant friendships, rooted deep in old magic and myth. Jenny's voice will live in your head long after you leave her story behind'
H. G. Parry, author of The Magician's Daughter

Editorial Review

Quests are better with friends
I’ve had an insatiable appetite for monster fiction since last year’s Someone You Can Build a Nest In, so Molly O’Neill’s debut rocketed to the top of my list this winter. Greenteeth’s monstrous protagonist is Jenny, a centuries-old lake monster who rescues Temperance, a witch who has been cast out of her home and tossed to her death in Jenny’s lake. What follows is a story of friendship and adventure that left me utterly smitten. Catrin Walker-Booth brings such authenticity and charm to these characters. Cosy fantasy fans, I hope your tea is already steeping for this one. —Sam D., Audible Editor

A really well written debut novel, I enjoyed this a lot. The main friendships were depicted with warmth and the folklore/fantasy aspect was interesting!

Very good book
