About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is feeling like an outsider or struggling to embrace their own unique quirks. While the setting is spooky and fantastical, the heart of the story focuses on the value of radical self-acceptance and the idea that our perceived flaws are actually our greatest strengths. It is a perfect choice for kids who want something a bit edgier than traditional fairytales but still need a safe, supportive message about friendship. In this adventure, the iconic Monster High ghouls venture into the Boogey Mansion to find a new friend, Twyla. The story uses a haunted house mystery to explore themes of teamwork and identity. It is age-appropriate for the 7 to 10 range, offering a 'creeperific' atmosphere that feels thrilling without being truly frightening. Parents will appreciate the strong anti-bullying subtext and the emphasis on looking past appearances to find the true person (or monster) underneath.
