Reach for this book when your child is feeling the weight of peer pressure or the pressure to be perfectly organized and normal. It is a fantastic choice for the kid who feels a little out of place at school or who finds magic in a mess of 'junk.' This hilarious story follows Rob, a boy whose cluttered closet yields a tiny, unpredictable creature named Wonkenstein. Through the chaos that follows, the book explores themes of secret-keeping, loyalty, and the courage it takes to protect something you care about even when it is embarrassing. Perfect for the 8 to 12 age group, the story uses humor and frequent illustrations to bridge the gap between picture books and more serious middle-grade novels. It offers a lighthearted but meaningful look at how a little bit of weirdness can actually make life more exciting and how taking responsibility for a friend, even a tiny monster, helps a child grow in confidence.
