Synopsis from Goodreads:
Fourteen-year-old Eve
Hallows lives in a monster-inhabited place where everything is horrible,
which in her world means wonderful, but things are about to become
wonderful (horrible) when she must move to the human world.
My Thoughts: This was a cute book with a fun premise. Eve Hallows is the only human living in the monster realm. When it becomes unsafe for them to stay there, her and her family move to the human realm, where only Eve (sort of) fits in.
I loved the idea of turning everything on its head and having the human realm be the unusual one. Kids will like reading how Eve finds everyday things so strange, how horrible means good and adorable means bad.
This is a fast paced book that will appeal to both girls and boys. We get to watch Eve grow and become comfortable in her human skin, but also have adventures with zombie pirate triplets. I'm sure most kids will laugh when they read about how her and her family tries to fit into life as humans.
Kids will like reading about the monsters from her world - zombies, gorgons, vampires, fairies, invisible men, and many others - but having them be approachable and even friendly (most of the time). There is a great mix of scary and humour.
