Olivia even said it was cool because it talked about bullying a little bit and they were talking about bullying at school. This one has far more detail and are the kind that libraries would hang up as posters encouraging kids to pick up a book and read.

I mean, I know for books aimed at the 9-12 crowd you'll get a few illustrations and some of the books Olivia reads the illustrations are kind of lame. We both really loved the illustrations- holy cow were those cool. She also liked Upir because he is smart, even though he kind of started the whole thing. She said she liked Isabelle the best because she is a girl, she is a witch, and girl witches are the best. She and her nasty monster friends have vowed to destroy Upir and his gang.įirst up, what a cool book! Olivia is eight and she really loved it. Along the way their nights become treacherous when they have to dodge flying skulls, avoid man eating plants, run from a mad scientist and most of all, steer clear of Muriel, a gorgon girl with slithering snakes for hair. He joins forces with Payne, a pumpkin headed scarecrow, Gusty, a smart aleck ghost, Isabelle, a purple eyed witch, and Hawthorne, a green hairy creature. Upir, a young vampire, gets entangled in a secret plot that might change the monster world forever. Upir and the Monster Gang - Sharron Thornton

Which she clearly thought she was totally badass, so this was actually a lot of fun to do with her.

This is one of two books this week that I had Olivia read and do a review for me.
