four-stars

Book one of The Terribles series is a silly fantasy which takes an occasional step toward horror. A range of characters from vampires to mummies to swamp-things show that monster kids are just like human kids. With a mix of graphic panels, prose, charts, poems, and activities young readers will giggle and occasionally gasp through the book. Black and white illustrations add to the storyline and humor. Elementary school libraries and public libraries with early chapter book readers of series like Eerie Elementary or the Notebook of Doom should consider adding this to their collection.
