Description
"If you think monsters don't exist, just ask Theodora Hendrix. The start of a brilliantly funny new series, perfect for fans of Amelia Fang. The first rule of the Monstrous League of Monsters is: Keep monsters hidden from humans. But when zombie George and his cat companion Bandit find an abandoned baby, they can't leave her to be eaten by hobgoblins. So they spirit her home where she quickly becomes part of the family. Fast-forward ten years, and young Theodora doesn't seem too scarred by her monstrous upbringing. But now a series of anonymous letters suggest that someone is about to reveal their secret. If Theodora doesn't act fast, she may lose her family for ever..." Google Books
My Comments
So much fun! I kept trying to skim through (having a lot of books waiting on my shelf), but slowed down because it is such an enjoyable, witty read. It is just scary enough for elementary and middle school. The characters are so loveable and caring that you forget that they are 'monsters.' The story is an accessible level for a wide range of readers, but Kopy throws in some great vocabulary words here and there that elevate the reading experience without discouraging young readers. A well written page turner!
