Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble
This mid-grade novel will bolster the spirits of any night warrior who has battled the forces of evil. The Monstrous Memoirs of a Mighty McFearless recounts the heroic exploits of 11-year-old Minerva McFearless, her brother Max, and their coyote cohort Mr. Devilstone in their never-ending struggle against the dreaded Zarmaglorg. TV personality Ahmet Zappa has crafted a mock memoir that combines scary full-color illustrations and surrealistic "scientific data," making for some horrifyingly hilarious fantasy.
Publishers Weekly
First-time author Zappa (son of rock legend Frank) mines his childhood fear of things that go bump in the night for this mock-memoir of a "monsterminator"-in-training, with recipes. Eleven-year-old Minerva McFearless, or Mini, as she's called, and her brother, Max, nine, stumble upon their father's secret trade-eliminating monsters. For years, they study his encyclopedic Monstranomicon, a talking, biting (female) book that contains information about all manner of evil beast and "defensive recipes" on how to defeat them. Mini also learns to speak Monstrosity, the native tongue of Grumplemisers, Glorches and the Howleewoof who relishes "children con carne." This stealthy self-teaching comes in handy when their widower father is kidnapped by agents of the Zarmaglorg, "the king of evil," who resides in faraway Castle Doominstinkinfart. With a cantankerous one-eyed coyote named Mr. Devilstone leading the way, a perilous trip to rescue Dad is on. The reptilian-skin look of the cover, Zappa's lively monster doodles and photo-illustrations of the main characters in key scenes, add kooky, creepy graphic appeal to the McFearless kids' escapades. A B-movie aesthetic keeps the narrative from being truly scary, and the repeated references to barfing, slime, blood and guts make this ideal summer reading for the crowd that's graduated from Captain Underpants. Ages 8-12. (July) Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
From The Critics
This book plays to the eternal fascination of children with monsters and all things slimy, smelly, and excremental. The McFearless children, eleven-year-old Minerva and nine-year-old Maxwell, must battle a succession of revolting monsters to save their widowed father, Manfred, a monsterminator who has been kidnapped by the Zarmaglorg, the most evil of the monsters. The children are aided in their endeavors by their own wits, the assistance of the mostly good Ms. Monstranomicon, their great-great-great grandfather in the form of a coyote named Mr. Devilstone, and by the humorous stupidity of the attacking monsters themselves. The book is filled with drawings of monsters and with photos mixing people and animals with constructed creatures. Numerous pages scattered through the book present recipes to protect against monsters using such ingredients as dead ants, boogers, dog hair, bare stinky feet, moldy cheese, toilet water, dirt, tube socks, toilet paper, dead flies, and hot sauce. The book ends with Manfred physically saved from the monsters but with his memories sucked out by the Zarmaglorg. Mr. Devilstone's last-page offer to help the children retrieve their father's memories by waking their dead mother promises a sequel.

    I loved this book. The author made the book fun to read. I found myself laughing out loud at a few of the parts and crying during a few also. The end leaves you wanting more and I can not wait for the next book.

    Dull, dull, dull

    I was really surprised by the lack of quality in this book. It's extremely difficult to read and the author has an odd way of writing. I didn't find anything outstanding. The characters seemed flat and were at times difficult to tell apart. Descriptions were very few, so few to the point that I had difficulty determining when a scene was set in the same place it had been earlier in the book. This is definitely not recommended.

    Hilarious - the next Harry Potter series...

    Thought this was hilarious and a quick/fun read. The descriptions of the monsters and the recipes are so silly they made me laugh out loud. Waiting for the next one..
