My Review:
As a sequel to Matt Monroe and the Secret Society of Odontology, Matt Monroe and the Haunted House ties neatly back to what happened in the first book. The story is full of action and suspense, keeping the reader engaged and wanting more. The way the story is told is quite unique to me. Its change in time, location and character focus may seem a bit chaotic at first, but everything comes seamlessly together as the story evolves. The characters are well-developed with distinctive personalities and dynamic elements that add color and life to the story.
While the book appeals to fantasy lovers with its exciting story about magic, super powers, the battle between good and evil, and so on, I love that it also touches upon a lot of real-world issues that are easy to relate to, including teamwork, friendship, family relationship, and bullying in the school setting. This book definitely makes me want to read the first book in the series as well. I'm sure any young reader with a brave heart and curious mind would love to read both books right around Halloween!
Matt Monroe and the Haunted House
