Bookroo's summary

On the eerie island of Creep's Cove, monsters like Vlad the vampire and Allie the alien attend school and navigate life. With portals to nightmarish dimensions and a cast of quirky creatures, this tale unfolds through comics, poems, and activities. Will these young monsters find their place in a world that’s both familiar and strange? Dive into a hilarious adventure where the monstrous meets the mundane, and discover if being a monster is really all that terrible.

From the publisher

The Terribles might be monsters, but they’re also kids just like you! Well, sort of. This hilarious peek into the world of vampires, mummies, swamp-things, and bigfoots is perfect for fans of the Hotel Transylvania movies. Vampires, mummies, and gelatinous balls of goo (oh my!). That’s right, monsters are real and they’ve settled down on the quiet island of Creep’s Cove. It’s a pretty typical place: houses, stores, portals to various nightmarish parallel dimensions. And a school for the kiddos. Meet the crew: Vlad, a fame-thirsty vampire, Allie, a stuffed animal-dissecting alien, Lizzie, a short-tempered kaiju, and SO many others! Told in alternating chapters, comics, poems, charts, and activities each focused on different classic spooky characters this story is the introduction to monsters you humans have been waiting for.
