Desmond Pucket and the Mountain Full of Monsters

My 10 year old says 4 stars. I would give it five stars because he read it! Actually he laid down on the my bed and read the whole book the day I gave it to him. He was chuckling and smiling and fully engaged. When he finished he asked me if there was another book in the series. There are pictures to break up the text and they add to the story. I would recommend this book for reluctant readers.

My son gives this new series "two thumbs up". Happily read it nearly cover to cover in just a day or two. Eager for number 3.

My 8 yr old loves the Desmond Pucket books. I hear him laughing out loud constantly while he's reading them.

Very satisfied

Desmond Pucket, star of Desmond Pucket Makes Monster Magic, is back and he’s finally on the class trip to Crab Shell Pier, where the Mountain Full of Monsters awaits! He’s dying to ask his crush to go on the ride with him, but he’s thwarted by Mr. Needles, the school disciplinary officer who has it in for poor Desmond, and bully Scott Seltzer. When he finds out that the Mountain Full of Monsters is scheduled for demolition, he’s determined to save it – in his own way, naturally – and discovers that kids will actually pay him to scare their friends, brothers, and sisters! Can Desmond stay one step ahead of Mr. Needles and make his dreams come true again?If you enjoyed the first Desmond Pucket book, you’ll be very happy with Desmond Pucket and the Mountain Full of Monsters. The sequel picks up shortly after the first book ends, and the main characters are all in place, waiting to be rejoined by the reader. The reading is fast-paced and funny, told by Desmond via his journal. The book is filled with “Desmond’s” scribbles and illustrations, and there are more tricks and recipes this time. Desmond is a likable character, and you really want him to succeed. He’s entrepreneurial this time out, which should get kids thinking about making their own money doing what they love. It sends a positive message!These are great books to have available to middle grade readers, particularly boys, who love the Wimpy Kid books.

'Desmond Pucket and the Mountain Full of Monsters' is the second book in this series for kids and this time around, Desmond is still making monster magic. It's a hybrid book and graphic novel and I loved it.Desmond is so excited because his class field trip is to Crab Shell Pier and a ride that Desmond has always wanted to ride on, The Mountain Full of Monsters, a roller coaster packed with ghosts, zombies and other assorted monsters. Along with that, he has plan to ask Tina Schimsky to ride beside him. Things go awry as Mr. Needles, a teacher out for Desmond, tries to stop things before they start. Nemesis Scott Selzer is trying to also keep Desmond from sitting next to the girl of his dream. In addition, Desmond finds out that his favorite ride is being shut down.Desmond comes up with a plan to try to save the fake monsters in the ride, and he scares a lot of siblings with a new business and learns about the friends he has along the way. It's a fun read and even includes fun advice for creating your own scares. As someone who began loving monsters as a kid, and still does, I really enjoyed this.I was given a review copy of this ebook by Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
