Dominik Mikulaschek: The Monster Under the Photocopier, Gebunden

Klappentext

**The Monster Under the Photocopier** is a funny, quirky, and illustrated **children's mystery book for ages 8 and up** set in a school where rules are strict, the adults are suspiciously serious, and something very strange is hiding in the hallway.

At Regelberg Elementary School, Monday morning usually smells like polished floors, sharpened pencils, and too many rules. Milo, Fina, and Turbo are used to strange school routines-but when the photocopier starts rattling, smoking, beeping, and swallowing important worksheets, they realize this is no ordinary paper jam. While the teachers call it a technical problem, the three friends are convinced that something much bigger is going on.

Then the clues begin to appear.

A torn scrap of paper with a mysterious purple mark. Odd shadows moving beneath the photocopier. Missing worksheets. A new warning sign that reads **QUIET PLEASE!** A strict inspector with a clipboard who seems more interested in control than answers. And somewhere under the machine, hidden in the dust and paper scraps, something is watching.

Milo is observant and logical. Fina is clever, focused, and always ready to investigate every clue. Turbo is bold, imaginative, and full of chaotic ideas that somehow help at exactly the right moment. Together, they make the perfect team. As they sneak through the school, follow paper trails, and piece together the mystery, they discover that the truth under the photocopier may be weirder, funnier, and more dangerous than they expected.

Is there really a monster under the photocopier? Why are worksheets disappearing? And what is the adults' role in all this strange "order" and secrecy?
