Bailey Buckleby is a typical 12 year old boy, who doesn't like social studies and is starting to discover girls. He also works with his dad as a monster catcher in a world that tries to pretend monsters don't exist. When an ancient cecephaly comes sniffing around his shop on the hunt for a baby sea giant, Bailey is in for the adventure of a lifetime.
First of all, I love the colors and design of the cover of this book. That alone made me excited to read it. Second, this is such a great read for tweens. A lot of adventure, a tiny bit of romance, a little bit of drama, and a whole lotta fun. I also love that it ends at the start of a new adventure, the kind that leaves you anxious for the next book. I definitely recommend for your preteen reader!!

Thank you to Smith Publicity and George Brewington for including me in the blog tour for The Monster Catchers and sending me a copy for an honest review.
The Monster Catchers does what my favourite middle grade books do, mix important world issues with a fun fantasy world. In The Monster Catchers, Bailey and his father hunt and sell monsters. Bailey loves reading and learning about the creatures and strives to understand them. Along the way environmental issues and the nature of understanding differences are all explored within the world. I love having issues beneath fun stories for kids, it helps me as a mother to take a story they love and are entertained by and then delve a little deeper in discussions.
The Monster Catchers is a wonderful story and a great start to a series I will be happy to share with my son when he’s ready.
