Plot: Late at night, the child monsters of Transylvania meet at their club. They decide to spend their night playing hide and seek. However, some very important rules need establishing. No magic, no sniffing, and no changing into a bat!
Genre: Monsters, Graphic Novel
Reading Level: Ages 7-9

Personal Thoughts: A good example of the comedic monster. Instead of being scary, the monsters play the role of the protagonists and wrestle with fitting in, struggling in school, and goofing off with atypical friends.
At the end of the novels, a brief section discusses the "original" source of the monsters. For example, this novel focused on cinematic Dracula, some of the legends and books participating in his creation, and the role of his film in modern cinema.
