Interview with the Author
Q: Why should a boy or girl begin reading the Monster Series? Novels in the Monster Series are fast, fun, clean teen and tween books that point readers back to the Bible where much of today's modern horror themes originated. Boys and girls will fall in love with the quirky characters Nick meets, their oddball antics, and the way Nick solves murder cases by watching police and detective shows - all while Nick displays daring confidence (while also finding trouble and danger).
Q: Why should parents buy the Monster Series for their boys and girls? Parents will appreciate the clean elements and moral values that avoid profanity and sexual situations. As an imperfect teen sleuth, Nick is troubled by the phoniness he sees around him and the lies of others that pass for facts. Above all, he wants to find the truth. This drives him to act in ways that lead him towards danger. Nick believes his generation, more than any other before it, needs to seek truth and that can only be found by asking hard questions. His parents may know some things and authority figures may have it all figured out, but Nick knows things are not always as they seem. Until something is examined, tested, and found true, only then can it be counted upon. Each book has some romance, but it's innocent and clean.
Q: What age is appropriate for these books? The Monster Series is appropriate for mature fifth grade readers. Other parents may choose sixth or seventh grade, due to the fact that Nick IS solving a murder. There is a body in every story! It's also a great, nostalgic read for adults who enjoyed the Hardy Boys series!(展開(kāi))
