Julia Dweck's name is synonymous with creating a broad range of imaginative, whimsical, and fun stories for young readers. This is especially true of her most recent book entitled: Eville, USA. Inside these pages, young readers are introduced to monsters and villains who travel to the town of Eville for all sorts of activities ranging from evil training to games--to rest and relaxation at the Eville convention held once a year. The story is made up of silly verses and rhyming conventions that are sure to make young readers giggle. Dweck cleverly takes us behind the scenes and details the truth about the early training of both monsters and villains, particularly how they eventually graduate to rule the world and "aggravate." Fian Arroyo's visually dynamic illustrations do a lot of work as well--drawing young readers into the humorous scenes that effectively compliment the storyline. Each page is filled with monsters, zombies, and even Frankenstein, who makes a guest appearance at the Eville, USA convention. This is a hilarious tale guaranteed to make you laugh.
