Libraries that have the previous Cavendish publications will not find much new here, and those that don't should consider it at most an additional report purchase.
With a thin plot, broad characterizations, and goofy humor, this chapter book series will be most appreciated by readers looking to strengthen comprehension but who are perhaps not quite ready for longer or more complex chapter books.
A recommended purchase for collections where contemporary romances with nerdy, fun characters reign.
An enjoyable read with broad appeal to independent readers.
A must-buy for libraries serving middle school, this title works both as a basic overview of earth science and as a fine example of how to incorporate personal narrative into nonfiction.

A double-page spread describes the monster and its backstory, as well as "how to defeat" it. Boxed text provides information about cultural origins. Slick CGI-looking illustrations will appeal to gamers, as will "Beast Power" rankings, rating qualities such as "Strength," "Repulsiveness," and "Invincibility." Ind. Review covers these Mythical Beasts titles: Demons and Dragons, Giants and Trolls, Mighty Mutants, and Monsters of the Gods.
