Synopsis
No one ever said it was easy being a monster. Take Frankenstein, for instance: He just wants to marry his undead bride in peace, but his best man, Dracula, is freaking out about the garlic bread. Then there's the Headless Horseman, who wishes everyone would stop drooling over his delicious pumpkin head. And can someone please tell Edgar Allan Poe to get the door already before the raven completely loses it? Sheesh. In a wickedly funny follow-up to the bestselling Frankenstein Makes a Sandwich , Adam Rex once again proves that monsters are just like you and me. (Well, sort of.)

  • Not as good as the first in the series

    Clever but not as appealing for kids as “Frankenstein Makes a Sandwich”. That book is funny for virtually all ages from beginning to end. The only part my kids enjoyed was the headless horseman’s blog.
