Welcome to The Nothing to See Here Hotel! A hotel for magical creatures run by Frankie Banister and his parents.

‘Exuberant story and witty illustrations, this is my kind of book!’ Chris Riddell ‘Giggles guaranteed’ Nick Sharratt

Frankie Banister and his family are preparing to celebrate Grandad Abraham’s 175th birthday – an occasion that’s going to be even more HONKHUMPTIOUS now that Abe’s ghost has showed up!
 
When the unexpected spook reveals a secret UNDERWATER wing of the hotel that’s been hidden away for years, the Banister’s decide there’s only one thing for it … a whopping welcome home bash in the spectacular BRINY BALLROOM.
 
But memories aren’t the only things waiting at the bottom of the ocean. Secrets and sea monsters are lurking in the shadows, and is everything as it seems with Grandad Abraham’s ghost? Or is there something fishy going on?
 
Book your stay at The Nothing To See Here Hotel in this fabulously funny series by bestselling author Steven Butler, with a host of weird and wonderful characters brought to life with Steven Lenton’s brilliant illustrations!

PRAISE FOR THE NOTHING TO SEE HERE HOTEL series:

‘This book is so good you won’t blunking believe it!’ Tom Fletcher ‘Hilariously funny and inventive, and I love the extraordinary creatures and the one thirty-sixth troll protagonist…’ Cressida Cowell ‘A rip-roaring, swashbuckling, amazerous magical adventure. Comedy Gold.’ Francesca Simon ‘This hotel gets five stars from me’ Liz Pichon ‘A splundishly swashbungling tale of trolls, goblins and other bonejangling creatures. Put on your wellies and plunge into the strangest hotel you will ever encounter. This is a hotel I hope I never find! Wonderfully, disgustingly funny.’ Jeremy Strong ‘What a fun hotel! Book me in immediately!’ Kaye Umansky

I enjoyed this book. It was exciting and i would recommend it. It was fun and super intense.

I thought it was very magical. My thoughts were that it was creative and fun. It was fiction. My favourite characters were Nancy and Rani. It was not factual. It interested me because it had a lot of magical creatures in it. I shall recommend this to someone.

This is a fantasy book full of description. The narrator is Frankie Banister, a quartering troll. He explains his adventures he has had. He also live in a hotel with his mum, dad and great-great-great granny. I really like Nancy, the hotel cook. She is a spider who haas been working at that hotel since it opened. I would definitely recommend this to children my age (Y4-Y5) and under (or over!)

This is a book about a boy who is half goblin and can breath underwater. In this story his Great, great, great Grandfather appears as a ghost.

My favourite character was the pet dragon.

I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys funny stories set in fantasy worlds.

I definitely like this book. A note for readers - you must read all of the other Nothing to See Hotel books before reading this one because familiar faces from the first and second books come into this story. If you like magical stories such as Harry Potter you might like this book and people who are OK with people having green glowing eyes will enjoy this one too.

18 Aug 2020

It was the besT and my favourite character is Frankie Banister. This book is for anybody who likes fictional books.

Mysterious story

14 Aug 2020

It turns out there's a whole new bit of the hotel that nobody knew about because it had been wiped out of their minds by magic. But then Grandad Abe's ghost comes and tells them how to get the key so they can access it. They find the whole new bit of the hotel is a giant underwater ballroom! I would recommend this book series if you like funny stories.
