Praise for A BABYSITTER’S GUIDE TO MONSTER HUNTING #1: “This shining gem in the campy monster drama genre is a step up from R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps.”
School Library Journal

A Babysitter’s Guide to Monster Hunting is scary, funny, clever, and filled with heart. Best of all, the main character, Kelly Ferguson, proves a smart, appealing, and very real hero. You will root for her, and then you will root for a sequel.”
