<b>Kids vs Monsters!</b>

I don't care how old I get, YA and middle grade books will always be fun. I've been following Trevor Henderson for a while and love his artwork, so picking this up was an easy choice. 

The way the kids seem to be the only ones who notice that anything is really happening feels like something straight out of a Stephen King novel. The kids are also smart, and resourceful, and I found myself getting attached quickly. 

The monsters are inventive and interesting as well. I would love to know more about them, their histories, etc. I don't know if there are plans for a series, or if this is a one off, but regardless, I would like to see more of Henderson's creations in the future. 

Since this was an advance, I wasn't able to see all of the illustrations, and honestly can't wait to pick up a physical copy to check them out!
