Review

Kids who love humor & mild horror will enjoy this series. Alexander is the main character. He keeps track of monsters (real & imagined) in a special notebook. He sees monsters wherever he goes. His friends & fellow Monster Patrol club members Nick, Rip, & Dottie are concerned. But together the four friends battle the monsters & save their classmates & teachers at Stermont School. This is great for 3rd & 4th grade readers. The text is easy to read & rarely takes up an entire page. Zany black & white illustrations are on every page. They humorously enhance the story. Give to fans of the series My Weird School by Dan Gutman, Zack Files series by Dan Greenburg. A good purchase for larger libraries.

Overall Book Score: good
