Monster Madness

From the beginning, humanity has been fascinated with monsters. Tales of things lurking in the woods, swimming in the water, or waiting underground have been told for thousands of years. Some of the oldest stories in the world, such as the myths of Medusa and the Minotaur, focus on monsters. Others, such as Frankenstein's monster and the Loch Ness monster, are relatively new. Through informative fact boxes and detailed graphic organizers, readers learn the history of such creatures. Books and websites are also provided to give a jumping-off point for more in-depth research.

Key features of each volume:
• Stories from cultures around the world that broaden readers' horizons
• High-interest topics to engage reluctant readers
• A combination of classic literature, history, and science that creates an interdisciplinary approach
