Purchase options and add-ons

This monster mash-up from Geisel winner Ethan Long doles out the laughs and the chills in equal measure.

Each year, on Halloween eve, Fright Club meets to go over their plan: Operation Kiddie Scare. Only the scariest of monsters can join Fright Club--Vladimir the Vampire, Fran K. Stein, Sandy Witch, and Virginia Wolf have all made the cut. They've been practicing their
ghoulish faces, their scary moves, and their chilling sounds. But when a band of cute little critters comes along asking to join in the fun, the members of Fright Club will find out who really is the scariest of all!

This clever, rollicking read aloud text and delightfully spooky illustrations will have young readers laughing, cheering, and begging to be the newest members of Fright Club.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 2—Vladimir the vampire summons all the local monsters to a meeting in his tree house the night before Halloween. Frankenstein, Witch, Ghost, Mummy, and others show up for the Fright Club meeting to discuss Operation Kiddie Scare. They are doing important things, such as reviewing the three traits of highly effective monsters, when suddenly there is a knock at the door. There's a cute bunny outside wanting to join the Fright Club. Vladimir shoos her away, however, because "Fright Club is for monsters only!" Back to the meeting he goes to lead the group in making their scariest sounds and faces. They're all duds, and it's not going well. Even an eye-popping mummy isn't scary enough. And then, there's another knock at the door. Bunny is back with her attorney, Frances Foxx, claiming that her client was denied inclusion in the club. Vladimir slams the door and returns to lead the group in scary moves. They're still not very scary, and suddenly there is a third knock at the door. Bunny is back with her attorney and a protest group comprised of Turtle, Butterfly, and Fly, all carrying signs and making loud noises. Eventually, the protesters are allowed inside and are actually pretty good at conjuring up scary faces and noises. They're officially allowed to join the club, and Operation Kiddie Scare the next night is a great success. "When it comes to scaring, the more, the merrier." The illustrations of not-so-scary, cartoonlike monsters are rendered in muted hues of orange, brown, and gray. Created with graphite pencil and drawing paper, they are digitally enhanced. VERDICT Silly but entertaining. Purchase for seasonal collection or Halloween laughs.—Roxanne Burg, Orange County Public Library, CA

Review

“Long's dark, ghostly palette sets an appropriately eerie mood, and he has a lot of fun with the cuddly animals' reign of terror. . . Don't worry about what goes bump in the night, Long seems to suggest--daylight can be plenty scary, too.” ―starred review, Publishers Weekly

“Long delivers an original story full of droll humor while also introducing the concept of questioning stereotypes and rules. . . Long ably proves that 'when it comes to scaring, the more the merrier.'” ―
Kirkus Reviews

“Silly but entertaining.” ―
School Library Journal

“It's a funny Halloween concept that delivers.” ―
The Horn Book

“The lighthearted tone makes this Halloween tale a perfect pick for younger children. Monster names such as Virginia Wolf and Mumford N. Suns will entertain the adults as well.” ―
Booklist

“Doubling as a baby book and an early reader, this book about the ups and downs of avian rivalry succeeds abundantly on both fronts.” ―
-The New York Times on Up! Tall! and High!
