The Monsters Next Door

The authors are Marcia Jones and Debbie Dadey. The main characters are Ben Kilmer and Annie. In Monsters Next Door, people just moved in to a new neighborhood. The kids that lived there are suspicious about them. The story is a spooky story. The setting is a small town where strange things happen. The theme is a couple of kids think a family is weird. My favorite part was when Kilmer made a scary pumpkin. The book does not start in a in a exciting way but it gets suspenful. I would recommend this book for kids ages 9-12. It would be hard for younger kids to understand it all. I give this book 4 stars. Hope you like it. By Sean

I think this was a really good book and I know that a lot of other kids would like it too! I really liked the part where the kids went into the Hauntley's house and saw eye balls and other neat stuff!

"The Monsters Next Door" was a funny also kind of scary book in the beginning. This book is about a boy named Ben and a girl named Annie they also have a friend named Jane. Monsters move in to their next door from Transylvania. Their names are the Huntley's. The lady and her husband moves in with their son Kilmer. They have a Inn called Hauntly Manor Inn. Kilmer's dad loves to bury things in the mud. They get to meet them more and start thinking that they are very nice people!
