Name of book - Monster House Author and Illustrator - Tom Hughes publisher - Simon and Schuster publishing date - 2006 type of book - non-fiction number of pages- 126 It took me 4 days
Evaluation - I would recommend this book to anybody who enjoys an adventure. This book is a fun and exciting book because the main character D.J Walters is a similiar age to me. The best part of the book was not knowing what happened next and the surprises. This book had a lot of direct speech from DJ to his friends.
I enjoyed this book due to the fact that Marcus is the same age as me. I would recommend this book for its comedy for lots of fun to enjoy. This book is about when Marcus is woken by a dog doing a poo on his bed, He is understandably upset. Blackly [the dog] have other surprises in store. Soon Marcus and his dumb friend Dylan on a mission to save God [a pygmy beared dragon] from his local pet shop. Blackly, Marcus and Dylan are on a journey to save God before time runs out!!
