Review quotes
"Readers will be irresistibly drawn into the captivating world of Kopy's monster-filled middle-grade novel, where the promise of tantalizing secrets sets the stage for adventure. Through the snarky, charming narrative of an mysterious observer, the story unveils a delightful blend of whimsy and mystery revealing truths that adults often keep hidden from children—namely, the existence of monsters. Rescued as a baby from a graveyard, Theodora grows up in a house full of monsters learning to be good, but they have to keep her a secret. That's easier said than done, especially when Theodora starts attending school with an unusually terrible head teacher and someone is threatening to report her monster family for breaking the no-humans rule. Alongside the lively characters and light mystery, the narrator imparts a particularly mischievous charm, with cheeky asides about how to prank teachers and the many ways parents are wrong. With playful, comical illustrations reminiscent of the Addams Family that vividly bring the scenes and characters to life, this delightful, cheeky romp is ideal for those who relish eerie tales with a humorous twist." —Booklist Reviews
