About the Book

"Vampires, mummies, and gelatinous balls of goo (oh my!). That's right, monsters are real and they've settled down on the quiet island of Creep's Cove. It's a pretty typical place: houses, stores, portals to various nightmarish parallel dimensions. And a school for the kiddos. Meet Vlad, the fame-thirsty vampire; Allie, a stuffed animal-dissecting alien; Lizzie, a short-tempered kaiju; and many others"--Publisher description.

Review Quotes

"Who can resist a blob who can't stop eating cruciferous veggies and swells to take over a town? Or Griff, an invisible kid who's a master at hide-and-seek? High-appeal characters presented with plenty of laughs." --Kirkus Reviews
