Description

Being new in school is never easy for monsters, except in Transylvania, where all the schoolchildren are monsters, too.

Quick Summary

What happens when the new kid at school turns out to be a monster who thinks he's the only different one? That's the fun twist in this early reader about fitting in and discovering that sometimes the thing that makes you different is actually what makes you belong. Kids who worry about being the new student or feeling like they don't fit in will find a silly but reassuring story that turns the "monster at school" trope on its head. The humor is lighthearted rather than truly scary think more "friendly neighborhood creature" than spooky Halloween vibes, making it perfect for kids who enjoy a gentle laugh with their reading practice. Young readers who are fans of the "Monster" series or anyone transitioning from picture books to chapter books will likely want to pick this one up.
