'Alex and the Monsters #1: Here Comes Mr. Flat!' by Jaume Copons with illustrations by Liliana Fortuny is about a good kid with a messy room who finds a strange new friend.
Alex Pianola is a kid who forgets to turn in assignments, and has a really messy room. His current assignment is due and he needs help. He finds a little stuffed animal that looks like a monster. It comes to life, and Alex finds a friend who likes to read all the classic books like Treasure Island and Peter Pan. His new friend, Mr. Flat, helps Alex, but needs help in return. Mr. Flat, and his friends, are from a book called The Book of Monsters. This book is the start of the adventure.
I liked this book with comic book style illustrations. The main character and Mr. Flat are pretty likeable. I liked all the references to classic books that Alex discovers along the way. This chapter book for grades 3-4 was a fun read.
I received a review copy of this ebook from CrackBoom! Books, Chouette Publishing, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.

stupid. A student who might get interested in Treasure Island, Tom Sawyer, Wind in the Willows, and
Peter Pan will reach them through this insipid comic book? really unlikely.

This is graphic fiction with a hearty dose of books! I am happy that the monster has a fun backstory in literature and the child in the story (Alex) is encouraged to read classic literature and adventure books by the monster. I am looking out for more of these!
