MY ZOMBIE VS. YOUR CLOSET MONSTER

A new Versus battle pits Trainer teams Amos and Lilly against Tradd and Joon with brand-new monsters to enter into battle.

Amos Funada and Lilly Concannon, now 13, have been training their newest monster, a zombie named Tulok, to take on a closet monster in their next Versus battle. As Trainers in the Crafters Guild, Amos and Lilly work with monsters to bring them into the modern world, help them safely integrate into society, and train them to fight in epic monster battles. Tulok, an Inuit zombie who specializes in martial arts and possesses tremendous speed, is a seemingly perfect monster to fight with. Opposite Amos and Lilly, 11-year-olds Tradd Risso and Joon Baker have been training Creak, a closet monster who’s able to bring nightmares to life and make doors materialize out of thin air. Only through the Versus battle will they find out who’s truly more powerful: the zombie or the closet monster. This latest installment continues to be consistently funny and engaging to read. With fast pacing and nonstop action, this read, which is populated with a strong cast of ethnically diverse human characters and a variety of creative monsters, is enjoyable from cover to cover. Returning readers will notice and appreciate some plot throughlines from the earlier two entries.

An entertaining new battle that’s worth diving into.
