Black Day: The Monster Rock Band

Written by Marcus Sikora with Mardra Sikora

Illustrated by Noah Witchell

Publisher’s Synopsis: Brad is a paper boy who wants to be a rock star, so when he discovers the band Black Day playing in old Professor Hammer’s garage, he really wants to join. The band’s monsters have a different idea and send him away, ”No humans!”

Brad sets out to change their minds, but the monsters have bigger problems than finding a bass player.

Halloween may never be the same again.

Praise

“Just as a Halloween tradition is created for the people in Brad’s neighborhood, we suspect that Black Day: The Monster Rock Band will find a place in many young readers’ annual Halloween reading lists.” —The Children’s Book Review
