Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT YOUR BOOKS?

MONSTERIOUS is a spooky monster mystery series that’s great for fans of Goosebumps, Stranger Things, or Five Nights at Freddy’s. The books are short and, as each one is a stand-alone story with a unique cast of characters, they can be read in any order. While geared for ages 8 to 12, MONSTERIOUS is great for anyone who enjoys fast-paced thrillers with lots of action, humor and heart.

WHAT ARE SOME FUN FACTS ABOUT YOU?
