The Gristle Grunt, the Ink Blight, the Two-Headed Mutant Rodent, the Shark Hound – these are just a few of the monstrous creatures featured in Morton’s story.  It begins innocently enough – a family finds a statue which grants three wishes.  Dark magic and the blind former owner of their new home are at the root of the trouble.  Fisher’s story feels like a slightly more sophisticated heir to the Goosebumps series.  At the center of the bound volume are pages printed with information about and images of creatures from “The Monster Deck.”  This title will appeal to kids looking for adventures and monster goodness – although they may be sorry that they must look at the website for the book to see the monsters in color.  Each of the three siblings involved in the story have their own character arcs, as they each cope with personal tragedy and supernatural happenings in different ways.  At nearly 300 pages, this title is hefty, and will be a fun challenge for monster-obsessed readers.
