Trainers Gabe and Hayden are back, ready to battle with a new monster.

Ten-year-old Trainers Gabe Basuldua and Hayden Fracasso find monsters to enter in battle against other Trainers. Using special medallions designed by the Crafters Guild, a secret society that conducts events to help monsters socialize, Trainers can stay safe while working with the dangerous creatures. In this second series entry, Gabe and Hayden face Lilly Concannon and Amos Funada, 12-year-old Trainers who have found a Brazilian ghost named Marta Lucélia Pêra, who died decades ago, to fight in the Versus battle against their ancient mummy, Ptahhotep. With one win under their belts, Gabe and Hayden hope that Ptahhotep will be successful in taking on a ghost as powerful as Marta. While Ptahhotep is more than 4,000 years old and extremely strong, can he stand up to Marta’s ghostly chill? Or will Ptahhotep fail when faced with a beautiful ghost who matches him in ways no one else has for millennia? This action-packed and humorous novel brings beloved characters Gabe and Hayden back to yet again elevate the monster-battle genre. With perspectives that change from chapter to chapter, excellent character building, and fast pacing, this romp will appeal even to reluctant readers: It’s a fun and fantastical read that’s ideal for fans of classic monsters and Pokémon battles. Hayden and Lilly are white, Gabe is Black, and Amos is Japanese American.

A sequel that’s just as fun and funny as the first book.(Paranormal. 8-12)
