I am an adult that really enjoys middle grade books - they can be so well done, and authors who are good at it tend to have stories that are so inventive and so creative, because they have to keep those with shorter attention spans focused on what they're reading. Such was the case here - a fun, creative story with a lot of heart. A story about family, and friendship, and yes - monsters. How what we often see as "monsters" really aren't, and the true monsters are those who hurt others in the name of superiority. It's a timely tale, and an enjoyable one.
