The Monsters of Morley Manor by Bruce Coville

4.0

A delightful Halloween romp with some mini monsters and aliens and the like. This book doesn't hold up as well as I would have hoped to an older reader, but I can see glimmers of why this book so fascinated me as a kid. The narrator's commentary on how hard some of the events of the book are to understand is the kind of casual nod that makes you think on exactly what they mean, such as what it would be like to have a little brother suddenly be much, much older than you. This is the kind of book that contains very little actual story, but leaves enough in a kid's head to extend it so much more. Definitely a great read for middle grade or young YA readers.
