Madcap fun with the Moshi Monsters App

If you've a young techno-whizz in the house, then chances are you're no stranger to online virtual pets the Moshi Monsters (for all the low-down, check out our interview with Moshi Monsters creator Michael Acton Smith). And if you're a real aficionado (by proxy) you'll know that Moshi Monsters themselves have pets – the Moshlings.

These micro-sized monster pets are set to cause havoc in their first ever app, Moshi Monsters: Buster’s Lost Moshlings, with players helping the affable and luxuriantly mustachioed Buster Bumblechops, Monstro City's resident Moshlings expert, to round up mischevious Moshling escapees. 

Created in conjunction with Sunbird Books, an imprint of Penguin, the app is available from the App Store for the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch and costs £0.69.
