More About This Book

Overview

From Lisi Harrison, the New York Times bestselling author of The Clique and Alphas, comes a new series with a fresh twist on high school, romance, and the "horrors" of trying to fit in.

The monster community has kept a low profile at the local high school, but when two new girls enroll, the town will never be the same. Created just fifteen days ago, Frankie Stein is psyched to trade her father's formaldehyde-smelling basement lab for parties and prom.

But with a student body totally freaked out by rumors of monsters stalking the halls, Frankie learns that high school can be rough for a chic freak like her. She thinks she finds a friend in fellow new student Melody Carver-but can a "normie" be trusted with her big secret?

Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature
Melody Carver and Frankie Stein begin their sophomore year as new students at Merston High School in Salem, Oregon. Leaving the fast-paced, California lifestyle behind, Melody and her parents hope that the cleaner Oregon air will prove easier for Melody's asthmatic lungs to handle, though her older sister continually puts her down for being the cause of their family's relocation. For Frankie, high school is not all that is new. Her parents are descendants of the original Frankenstein's monster, and they have just created her in their own laboratory. Both Frankie and Melody find adjusting to their new school to be a struggle, complete with typical high school drama. At Merston High, however, monsters attend classes side-by-side with "normie" teenagers, while trying to maintain secrecy about their families and adding to high school angst. When the school opts for a monster-themed dance, Frankie sees it as an opportunity for her to step out of the shadows and to learn if her classmates can really accept her for who she is. Melody may not be a member of the monster community, but when she falls for one, she must put aside her own fears and take a stand for doing the right thing. While not all readers will be drawn to a book with movie monsters as the main characters, the message of the story is one of girl empowerment and a sense of pride in oneself, regardless of physical appearance or family background—a message to which many teenage girls can relate. Both protagonists must reconcile with their outer awkwardness and recognize that true beauty really does come from within. Reviewer: Amanda Ledbetter

    Amazing!

    I don't care what people have said. Monster High was one of the best things that Lisi Harrison has ever penned. It was fantastic, with believable, three-dimensional characters, and a fun, attention grabbing plotline.

    It's not hopping on the Twilight band wagon at all! Each character has, y'know, a personality, and the whole book is just so enjoyable.

    I loved it. Seriously, if you've liked anything else Lisi's written, you'll like Monster High.

    Can't Wait

    I have a feeling this might actually be pretty good. I haven't seen many books that are just about monsters. It's mostly vampires now. I actually have one of the dolls that this book is about and I've seen the mini shows on the site and it looks pretty cute. I can't wait to read this

    Great Book

    This was an awesome book. I read it in two days because I could never put it down! And Bad, you can't say the book was bad if you've never even read it! I highly recommend Lisi Harrison's books- she's one of my favorite authors-I've read all her books and I've loved every one of them! Don't bash on the book if you haven't even read it because its nothing like the TV show and don't take advice from your little cousin!

    Shut up!!!

    To all the people who say they dont like this book and there tired of reading about monsters and vampires, SHUT UP!!!!!!
    If ypu dont want to read about monsters dont buy this book. Its called 'monster high', not human high. Ifyour going to comment on this book, at least have be a positive review. It is an amazing book. Dont say anything otherwise. You dont like it, fine. But dont be all "oh, this book is so stupid. How was i supposed to know it was about monsters?" Yeah thats what all you idiots are saying either make your reveiw positive or dont review at all. This is a fantastic book.
    Thanks,
    Review Rebel

    PS: you can get it for about two dollars instead of ten. It should be on the same page as this one.

    Huge Potential

    I expected a lot from this book, and I was impressed at the end of the book. A satisfying mix of drama, humor, and just a hint of romance. Oh, and an enormous amount of pop-culture references (even Twilight and Justin Bieber) which can be annoying after a few chapters. I see huge potential in this book: It's already a web-series, and it was a special on Nickelodeon. Maybe a regular TV series or a movie? If you're looking for the perfect "just for fun" read, read this. It's "voltage."

    Can't wait!

    I found this series through YouTube - le gasp, right?! They also have a cartoon for this and Mattel has taken an interest in its' characters such as Frankie Stein, Clawdeen Wolf, Draculaura, Cleo de Nile, Deuce Gorgan, and soon two other characters: Ghoulia Yelps and Jackson Jeckyll by making them into dolls and a YouTube series!!! They even made a music video over this book.

    I went ahead and bought some dolls from Mattel :D And can't wait 'till they arrive.

    I'm really excited to read this series and am literally waiting on the edge of my computer to be able to download it for my Nook<3 !

    I have high hopes for this series and I hope it lives up to what it is made out to be. And if not, I'm still gonna collect the dolls!

    Btw, they have their own website. monsterhigh . com! Yayy!
