From goodreads.com:
Beware! Only those who are McFearlessly brave may read from the pages of these monstrous memoirs. Crack open the “creature-skin” cover-if you dare-and enter the monsterminating world of 11-year-old Minerva McFearless, her brother Max, and their mysterious coyote friend, Mr. Devilstone, as they battle the evil army of the king of all monsters-the dreaded Zarmaglorg! This one-of-a-kind novel features full-color illustrations throughout and offers “scientific” data on all the terrifying things that go bump in the night, as well as recipes for keeping the bloodthirsty beasts at bay. First-time author Ahmet Zappa delivers a horrifying and hysterical tale that will be sure to bewitch readers of all ages.
Personal notes:
I think this one fits in the Spiderwick Chronicles- corner, and I liked those better than this one. It's more childish, but at the same time the drawings and pictures in the book give it a certain charm. For the Flemish/Dutch people on my flist, it can probably be compared to an early Marc De Bel book.
