Here Be Monsters! by Alan Snow

5.0

My 10-year-old and I both greatly enjoyed this quirky, funny, smart, and quick-moving adventure story. Filled with odd characters, including boxtrolls, cabbageheads, rat pirates, and a boy with mechanical wings, Here Be Monsters is a big book that never gets dull. Added attraction: Hundreds of detailed black-and-white drawings that are totally absorbing and add greatly to the impact of the story. We both recommend it!

(For my kid's quickie opinion, see the review on my blog.)
