Monster Jam developed by Michelle Anaya of Blue Sandpiper Imprints is aimed at the age group of 4-8 years. Earlier a similar book app, ‘Grendel’s Great Escape’ was developed by Anaya, which was a roaring success. Monster Jam is a special book based on the story of a little monster determined to take the world of rock music by a storm. The main character ‘Axe’ and his garage band ‘The Groundhogs’ are eager to make it big at the annual Monster Jam festival. But when just a few days before the show the band’s lead singer loses her voice, all hopes rest with a new replacement singer that the band must find soon. What ensues then is the story.
