Claudette, Marie, and Gaston are no strangers to the struggle against evil. But even as seasoned fighters, nothing could prepare them for the danger their town will face as the host of the Warrior Games. As their town's representatives, they will not only need to win the games, but they must also stop the scheming Sea Queen's plans of resurrecting the wizard Grombach and conquer the world. Monsters Beware! continues the funny, fast, high-energy storytelling and inventive, perilous fantasy landscape established by the popular prequels, Dragons Beware! and Giants Beware!
Praise for The Chronicles of Claudette series:
"These stylish books -- there are three so far -- are called "Giants Beware!," "Monsters Beware!" and "Dragons Beware!," and they are just the thing for kids who like fractured fairy tales."--New York Times
Praise for Monsters Beware!:
"[Monsters Beware!] plays out with energy and charm in Rosado's swift, modern cartooning... the story never loses sight of the fact that friendship trumps winning, intelligence and diplomacy have their place in victory, and that it's not just shape but intention that makes a monster."--Booklist
