Members Reviews:
A really great read!!!!!
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. After beginning to read it I'd realized that I'd read this book before when I was younger. I also remembered how much I loved and still love the story.
Rilla Harmony Earth is embarrassed by her family because they don't let her do "normal" things like go to public school, eat junk food, or drink sodas. She has to be quiet in her own home because her home is a bed and breakfast that is owned by her mother and her aunt. One day Rilla goes to the mailbox and finds a box addressed to her from the Monster of the Month club. When she gets it into her room, which is the attic, and opens it something foreign and furry climbs out of the box. Rilla realizes that this is no ordinary club. That's not the only monster she receives.
This really is a great read. I loved it and will wind up reading it again. Dian Curtis Regan did a really great job with the plot of this book and I was intrigued throughout the entire story from the very first sentence.
but I LOVE this book
Mine was an ex-library copy, but I LOVE this book. I used to check it out all the time when I was a kid. I had a baby recently and I wanted to read it to him. We read a chapter a night and got through it pretty quickly. The story is well written and so fun, I highly recommend it!
Childhood Favorite
Like your favorite hole-in-the-wall restaurant, this was one of those obscure books no one else read and 10-year-old me adored. I loved Rilla, I loved her wacky family, and I loved that she was tomboy (like I was) but that status didn't define her. She's homeschooled, her mom is a total flower child, and eventually she starts receiving a new monster every month (monsters that don't exactly get along). I loved this book. It's quirky and fun, the characters well done, they're somehow both caricatures and realistic, if that makes any sense.
I think Monster of the Month Club is the first book I ever reread.
When I think back to middle grade novels Monster of the Month Club and the Wayside School books always stand out as my personal favourites.
Hilarious book!
This is the first book in a series of four about a girl, named Rilla, who recieves a mysterious present in the mail announcing that someone has bought her a year-long subscription to the Monster of the Month Club. Every month she recieves a new monster in the mail. No one ever told her that the monsters would be live ones! Each monster comes complete with feeding instructions and strange warnings that must be heeded, or else .
