Diary of a Monster's Son

This is a very low-key book, no great angst or excitement, but plenty of comic touches aimed at a young reader. Bradley's Dad really is a monster (though we're never told exactly what kind; possibly the author wanted to let kids imagine for themselves). Light-weight, but a fun read. I especially recommend finding the version that comes with plastic claws. These added greatly to the reading experience for my eight-year-old. Deby Fredericks, author of The Magister's Mask

Bradley knows his father is special. For one thing, he's impressively tall. But all through this diary, Bradley never realizes that anyone might think the hair and fangs a bit--well--unusual.A good read, a short read, and a really neat boy hero, who only wants to grow up just like ("Eat your fungus, Bradley.") Dad. Sweet and funny.
