Monster High

From Lisi Harrison, the New York Times bestselling author of The Clique and Alphas, comes a new series with a fresh twist on high school, romance, and the horrors of trying to fit in. They prefer to call themselves RAD (Regular Attribute Dodgers), but some call them monsters. So far, the "monster" community has kept a low profile in Salem, but this year two new girls enroll at Master High School, and the town will never be the same.

Created just fifteen days ago, Frankie Stein is psyched to trade her father's formaldehyde-smelling basement lab for parties and cheerleading. But with a student body totally freaked out by rumors of monsters who might be stalking the halls, Frankie finds that life in the "normi" world can be rough for a chic freak like her.

She thinks she finds a friend in fellow new student Melody Carver--but can a normi be trusted with her big secret?

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! I had wanted to read it for a long time because I’m a fan of the series, and knowing it was based on a book made it a must-read for me. I appreciated the introduction to characters I already loved, including the RADs and normies, as well as the relationship between Melody and Candance—it was refreshing. I’m giving it a rating of 4.5 stars. While it brought back nostalgic feelings, I wouldn’t consider it the best of the best. However, I highly recommend it!
