Greetings fellow readers,
I’m Curtis Decker, the Belmont Library Directory, and I had and idea for how to use the website. I have read many books over my years and I thought it would be fun to offer suggestions and book reviews. Without further ado, here is the first.
“The Monsters of Morley Manor” By: Bruce Coville
Readers of Coville will undoubtable note his unique style of language and story telling. He creates an atmosphere of fantasy while maintaining a level of reality within his characters.
This story follows the journey of two siblings, Sarah and Anthony, as they find a secret in their sleepy little Nebraska town. Monsters! Hidden away in the Morley Manor, the two stumble upon the monsters in a house sale. From there, the monsters lead them on an adventure across time, alien worlds, the land of the dead, and more.
This story blends science and magic in fantastical ways and follows a tale of what family is all about. It is also a fitting read for this spooky season. Enjoy!
