The Terribles #1: Welcome to Stubtoe Elementary - by Travis Nichols

Book Synopsis

The Terribles might be monsters, but they're also kids just like you! Well, sort of. This hilarious peek into the world of vampires, mummies, swamp-things, and bigfoots is perfect for fans of the Hotel Transylvania movies.

Vampires, mummies, and gelatinous balls of goo (oh my!). That's right, monsters are real and they've settled down on the quiet island of Creep's Cove. It's a pretty typical place: houses, stores, portals to various nightmarish parallel dimensions. And a school for the kiddos.

Meet the crew:
Vlad, a fame-thirsty vampire,
Allie, a stuffed animal-dissecting alien,
Lizzie, a short-tempered kaiju,
and SO many others!

Told in alternating chapters, comics, poems, charts, and activities each focused on different classic spooky characters this story is the introduction to monsters you humans have been waiting for.

Review Quotes

"Who can resist a blob who can't stop eating cruciferous veggies and swells to take over a town? Or Griff, an invisible kid who's a master at hide-and-seek? High-appeal characters presented with plenty of laughs." --Kirkus Reviews
