    New York City, NY; September 20, 2016: Sky Pony Press announces the release of Monsterville: A Lissa Black Production, written by Sarah S. Reida

    About Monsterville

    monsterville_cover_finalThe perfect Halloween read, Monsterville is Jumanji meets Goonies, a fast-paced adventure where board games come alive and winning your life depends on applying monster movie rules of survival. 13-year-old film-obsessed Lissa discovers a shape-shifting monster in her woods and decides to film the greatest horror movie of all time…until her little sister is kidnapped to the monster homeland of Down Below and she needs her star’s help to rescue her.

    Monsterville is not only a funny, fast read that has been well-received in peer and consumer reviews, but it teaches kids about film-making and how to notice the extraordinary in the ordinary. To learn more about the author (and take fun movie quizzes and access resources for teachers!), visit Sarah’s website at: http://www.lissablackproductions.com/.

    The literary rights to Monsterville are represented by Lauren Galit of the LKG Agency, and the film rights are represented by Pouya Shahbazian of New Leaf Literary (Divergent, The Selection).
