    About the Book

    Monsterland by Michael OkonMonsterland

    Written by Michael Okon

    Publisher’s Synopsis: Welcome to Monsterland—the scariest place on Earth.

    Wyatt Baldwin’s senior year is not going well. His parents divorce, then his dad mysteriously dies. He’s not exactly comfortable with his new stepfather, Carter White, either. An ongoing debate with his best friends Melvin and Howard Drucker over which monster is superior has gotten stale. He’d much rather spend his days with beautiful and popular Jade. However, she’s dating the brash high-school quarterback Nolan, and Wyatt thinks he doesn’t stand a chance.

    But everything changes when Wyatt and his friends are invited to attend the grand opening of Monsterland, a groundbreaking theme park where guests can interact with vampires in Vampire Village, be chased by werewolves on the River Run, and walk among the dead in Zombieville.

    With real werewolves, vampires and zombies as the main attractions, what could possibly go wrong?

    Ages 14+ | Publisher: WordFire Press | October 13, 2017 | ISBN-13: 978-1-61475-594-4

      I think the most interesting thing about the book is the way they are dealing with such dangerous creatures.

      My son hates and I mean hates reading after tons of struggle I found giving him books about monsters and zombies and underpants (yeah that was the first one he loved) they made him finally fall into the story. Now I tell moms they don’t hate reading they dislike the stories this would be a great addition to our little library
