Introduction

Beware! Only those who are McFearlessly brave may read from the pages of these monstrous memoirs. Crack open the “creature-skin” cover—if you dare—and enter the monsterminating world of 11-year-old Minerva McFearless, her brother Max, and their mysterious coyote friend, Mr. Devilstone, as they battle the evil army of the king of all monsters—the dreaded Zarmaglorg! This one-of-a-kind novel features full-color illustrations throughout and offers “scientific” data on all the terrifying things that go bump in the night, as well as recipes for keeping the bloodthirsty beasts at bay. First-time author Ahmet Zappa delivers a horrifying and hysterical tale that will be sure to bewitch readers of all ages.

"A traditional kid's monster book in the vein of Where the Wild Things Are"by Krista R. (see profile) 09/26/06

Zappa creates a fictional monster world that feels similar to the one in Where the Wild Things Are but a little darker. Is an easy read that would probably be enjoyable for children but is not a book club... (read more)
