About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is navigating the social complexities of a new school year or feels like their unique quirks make them an outsider. While the characters are famous monsters, the heart of the story is about the fierce loyalty of a 'ghoulfriend' squad who realizes that no one should be left behind, regardless of how different they seem. It turns the idea of being a 'freak' into a superpower, celebrating individuality through a high-stakes rescue mission. In this adventure, Draculaura, Frankie Stein, and Clawdeen Wolf head to Egypt to rescue Cleo de Nile from ancient traps and angry mummies. It is an ideal bridge for readers moving from picture books to longer chapters, offering a fast-paced plot that emphasizes teamwork over competition. Parents will appreciate the 'anti-bullying' foundation and the way it encourages children to embrace their own 'flaws' as part of what makes them special.
