In this spooky and suspenseful book set in 1888 New England, Will Henry is an orphaned teen who becomes the apprentice to the Monstrumologist: a scientist who studies and hunts monsters. After a series of particularly gruesome attacks, Will finds himself drawing closer and closer to a roving pack of human-like beasts that feast on people using sets of razor-sharp teeth. Can he defeat the pod of creatures before they overrun the town? I was on the edge of my seat while reading this book.
Not sure if the dark world of The Monstrumologist is for you? You can check out the publisher's trailer to get a preview of the book's creepy atmosphere:
The Monstrumologist earned a 2010 Michael L. Printz Honor Award. If you enjoy this book, you're in luck. It's the first in a series. For more of Will Henry's spine-tingling adventures, check out The Curse of the Wendigo.
Prefer listening? The Monstrumologist is also available on cd audiobook.
