Monster Max and the Marmalade Ghost by Robin Bennett
Today I’m bringing you a little different book than normal. Monster Max is a series for young boys about Max, who sometimes turns into a friendly monster. This is my stop on the blog tour presented by Rachel’s Random Resources.
Blurb
Max and Peregrine are volunteering at an old people’s home,
when strange things start to happen: one resident is walking on the ceiling;
one is riding their wheelchair through walls; and Reggie says his marmalade is
haunted (although no one listens). Can Max and his friends work out what’s
happening to protect his family and the local community? Things aren’t looking
good - the Marmalade Ghost is turning into a gloopy Godzilla, Max falls out
with his (joint) best friend, and then, just when it can’t get any worse,
someone kidnaps Max’s cat, Frankenstein... will they meet a sticky end?
Time to ‘Protect and Do Good Stuff!’
Review
Your children will love this book! This is my first Monster Max book and I thought it was hilarious. It had humor appropriate for middle elementary and younger children with acronyms such as FART. It has beautifully illustrated pictures throughout the book, very appropriate for a younger reader. A great book that will engage younger children and delight them!
Author Info
When Robin grew up he thought he wanted to be a cavalry
officer until everyone else realized that putting him in charge of a tank was a
very bad idea. He then became an assistant gravedigger in London. After that he
had a career frantically starting business (everything from dog-sitting to
cigars, tuition to translation)... until finally settling down to write
improbable stories to keep his children from killing each other on long car
journeys.
