Monsters, fashion, fun... squee!!! Clever names, puns, television specials, and dolls make the Monster High book franchise a series with strong appeal.
The
author, Lisi Harrison (best selling author of THE CLIQUE) knows her
audience. Before penning her MONSTER HIGH books she worked at MTV
developing programming.
These books contain some sexual innuendos --like to sexting-- and references to 'making out'. So not for little girls.

MONSTER HIGH
3.73 avg rating — 3,998 ratings
This
book is told from two points of view. First there's the "normi"
Melody. She just had a nose job and moved from California to Oregon.
Then there's Frankie Stein, a girl monster who is only 15 days old.
Both are now attending 'Monster' High.
Most reviewers comment that they really wish the story had just been about Frankie. But as it is, it tells about boy-crazy Melody, and green Frankie who is busy passing herself off as a normi... but who never stoops to betraying who she really is inside.
Fun pop references to things like Lady Gaga and Black Eyed Peas, fashionista items.
