Fab and funny MG mayhem with monsters, I enjoyed this so much and readers of the target age will too. The adventures are fast-paced, and have that irreverent madcap humour that particularly appeals at the younger end of the MG bracket (9-11), with some lovely nods to the real world, such as social networks for monsters. The underlying messages about acceptance and working together are clear without ever being didactic/preachy, and child readers will find it easy to root.for Alice and her new-found monster friends. This is a great start to a series, and I am sure it will be a success.
