I
received a KINDLE copy of this book through a giveaway the author had on
LibraryThing and the following is my honest opinion.
After
reading this delightfully, captivating book chuck full of monsters and other
mythical creatures set in a who-dunnit storyline I doubt it has been written by
someone who’s an adult. Instead, I believe it had actually been written by an
inner child who’s free of any inhibitions of being an adult.

if you will, you’re in Brodie’s shoes, and discover you’re the only person
getting off a plane after it lands and see a sign which reads,"WELCOME TO
MONSTROVIA SPECIAL SECTOR! KEEP OUT! UNLESS YOU ARE SPECIAL!” what would you
begin to think about the place you’re now in. If this isn’t enough you find out
you find out that your uncle, the person you’ve come to stay with is an
attorney whose clients are monsters, fictional characters and the like. What
thoughts would begin to race through your imaginative mind other than a
possible marvelous fun experience, rather than the reason you’ve been sent here
by your mother – misbehaving in school.

Newhouse’s writing is quite imaginative which is why I’ve mentioned the inner
child; it brings you right into the story as you continue to turn the pages to
find out what happens next.
For
letting his readers, as well as the inner child of his adult readers, have
their imaginations run wild; I’m happy to give this book 5 STARS.
