There's a really big Halloween party on Hannah's block and all of the Monsters have been invited. In fact, the Scary Godmother has been invited twice. Once by Hannah, and once by a mysterious secret admirer. Who could the unknown monster-man be?
Told in often-rhyming prose and word balloons on vibrant pages that balance a visually lavish picture book aesthetic with sequential-art page composition, the stories burst with complex color tones and creepy cartoon figures... With a sense of weird, Seussian fun, Thompson casts Halloween monsters as the most inviting group of playmates ever, and young readers will want to visit them again and again. This book deserves a prime place in every graphic novel collection.
