I know I read it in the same year but like I was trying to continue the series from last year when I was YOUNGER. So for my younger self, it would be a great book but not now.

This is the 4th book but the first one we've read in the series. My son picked it out at his book fair -- he's 10 and special needs, so I read it allowed to him. He loved it, and I (surprisingly) was drawn in too. I don't plan to go back in the series, but I do think we'll go forward.

For some reason, my original review has gone missing, so I guess I'm rewriting it.

This book was sent to me via ARC by the publisher for an honest review. All thoughts and feelings are my own.

This book follows a boy named Jack and his best friends during the winter after the Monster Apocolypse. After a mysterious villain shows up, the kid's progressing monster world is turned upside down when Jack's weapon is stolen. Jack and the gang vow to get his weapon back and defeat their new nemesis.

I thought that this story was just so super cute. I wish I had been able to read the first 3 books, but I felt like it was still super easy to follow the plot even if I hadn't read the previous installment. I really enjoyed the main group of characters. They had a really fun dynamic and their teamwork is so fun to read about. I think that the characters are going to be a great team of role models for younger readers.

I also really enjoy the science fiction/fantasy elements of this story. The monsters are so much fun and the magical/dystopia elements really add a sense of depth to the world. I'm really interested in reading the first three books. They just look like so much fun.

I hope you guys enjoyed this review! It's such a good book for kids ages 8-12. They're really going to love it!

Initial Thoughts

Super cute story full of teamwork and a great plot.
