Dracula vs. Grampa at the Monster Truck Spectacular (Wiley and Grampa's Creature Features, No. 1)
Grade 2-5–Wiley and Grampa triumph over the supernatural forces invading their hometown. In the first book, they meet Colonel Dracula and his Mudsucker–a blood-guzzling vampire truck. The next title puts toxic borscht to good use in battling an army of zombies that arrives uninvited at a backyard barbeque. Nothing seems to faze Wiley and his grandparents, who are rather inventive when it comes to vanquishing their enemies. Each story finishes with a Crackpot Snapshot game, where readers must find all of the small differences between two almost identical pictures. With black-and-white cartoons on every page, this series is similar in appearance and theme to Jim Benton's Franny K. Stein (S & S) and Dav Pilkey's Captain Underpants (Scholastic) books, making it a welcome high-interest choice for younger or reluctant readers.–Kathleen Meulen, Blakely Elementary School, Bainbridge Island, WACopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
