This book is hands down one of the best that I have read in 2022! It may be listed as YA, but I think even adults need to read this one.
When I was growing up my family was similar to the fictional Monsterjunkies we had crazy pets and were bullied for being different.Why is this so important for teens to read?
The book series has a strong anti-bullying message for being different and fitting in the characters even get bullied for having the last name the Monsterjunkies.What kind of response have you gotten from the series?
The books and Graphic novels have been reviewed by Kirkus and several comic book reviewers with high praise saying they are kid friendly with a strong message the stories are very entertaining.Why do you think people respond to it so well?
The characters and stories relate to many types of people people who wear masks everyday. It’s those who take off their masks and show the real person, are the ones that move forward.
Legacy is the best book of the trilogy because the characters Crow and Indigo, MonsterJunkie find their way in life and keep the family's legacy going.What is it about this installment that you love so much?
It shows that a family that is different is just as normal as everybody else.You're taking a big step by having this series made into in animated film. How did this come about?
I have been in the animation film business for many years and the right producers got together to develop and produce one of many animated films based on the books.What plans for its creation can you share with us?
It will have a cast of A-list voice talent and will be produced using the latest cutting edge CGI animation and story telling.Do you have any other plans in mind beyond the books and the movie?
We will build the intellectual properties into a franchise comic books graphic novels and to film.What else would you like readers to know about you and the series?
That it is well-researched and we use real science, with strong anti-bullying and environmental messages.Is there anything else you would like to share?
We hope the audience enjoys the MonsterJunkie series. You may find a little of yourself reading about their lives and adventures.Thank you so much for your time!

Dear Diary,
I can’t believe it. Today we moved, and I feel like I’m in a dream. I just keep walking around our new house and wondering when we will go home. It feels so different and strange. Everything is on one floor (that’s called a ranch house). The floors are all bare wood. My mom said our rugs would look terrible here so she let the people who bought our old house keep them. I think she was probably right. They were a dark maroon and the walls here are a light cream. I don’t think that would look good. I went to the bathroom three times since we got here and every time I used a different bathroom. I can’t believe it. Three different toilets in the same house! Only my friend Susan, my rich friend, had more than two bathrooms in her house. And four bedrooms! And a family room. I can’t believe we have this much space now.
When I look out of the windows I expect to see the shrubs and the Hudson’s house who were next to us on the left, but I don’t. Instead, I see a big open field that will probably have houses built on it by next year. That’s what my dad said anyway. And when I look out to the right I expect to see our clothesline and the Dixon’s driveway, but instead I see rose bushes and a wooden bench under a tree that the last owners said we could have.
Tonight, we had to eat supper off paper plates and use plastic forks, knives, and spoons because our boxes are still packed. My aunt made us a big picnic basket full of food and that’s what we ate for supper. It was delicious. There was fried chicken, potato salad and potato chips, cupcakes for dessert, and fruit salad. And at the bottom of the basket under the ice was a whole package of Hershey Kisses. Yum!
My brother already started to play with a kid next door who’s about a year older than he is. He’s so lucky. I have no new friends yet and that’s the truth!
5/5 review! "Supernatural Hero (Action & Adventure) (Comics & Graphic Novels) by Eran Gadot is a story that children can relate to easily. Andy is the typical nerd you will come across in your class. He is in grade six, skinny, wears glasses, and then falls in love with Zoe, the prettiest girl in his class. The twist in the story happens when Andy's grandfather dies and turns into a ghost. Now Andy has the power of seeing ghosts and communicating with them. He decides to use that power to the fullest. The paranormal activities make Andy a supernatural hero and the book is about the transformation of nerd Andy into a supernatural hero.
It is a very entertaining theme where one can relate to Andy and his nerdy behavior, which sees him being the butt of many jokes in class. The transformation of this nerdy boy is done very well and the change is fluid. It is the type of story that kids will find fascinating. The black and white sketches are beautiful and they give an individuality to the characters and the scenes. The manner in which Andy handles the situations in his life is noteworthy.
The theme covers everything that is part of a child's life: parents, school, friends, bullies, pretty girl, and much more. It is an entertaining read with a relatable character and exciting adventures that make it a fast paced story. Now from the nerd that he was, will this supernatural hero get the girl?"
