What is The Monster Diaries about?
The Secret Committee for the Advancement of Real Evil wants to make children frightened again, so it launches a contest to discover the world’s grisliest ghoul. Famous monsters, including a mummy, werewolf and vampire, must each reveal their daily routines and scariest tricks in a diary entry. As the judges compare their frightful talents, the competition takes some surprising turns. Filled with vivid illustrations, playful details and wonderfully silly scares, this is a humorous look at the everyday lives of legendary monsters.
