This book is a sixth title in the Mighty Mighty Adventure series. In a strange corner of the world known as Transylmania, legendary monsters were born. But before their frightful fame, these classic creatures faced fears of their own. Vlad the vampire is the leader and a tad bit bossy. Talbalt the werewolf fusses over his hair a lot. Frankie Frankenstein solves problems by bashing through them, Claude the invisible boy frets over his pimple before he relizes that no one can see it. Wichita the witch is asked not to use her magic as they play their weekly game of hide and seek and she agreed. As Vlad seeks out his friends some in obvious places, like Poto little phantom of the opera boy in a piano. Will Frankie be able to get free with the help of his friends?
The book is written like a graphic novel with squares and bubble talking. The story is very cute and interesting for young and old. There is a glossary, a little biography about Vlad before he became famous and where the friends are now. There is also a bio about the author and illustrator, discussion questions, writing prompts, titles of the books in the series, and a website to look up more books like this one. There is an AR test available for this test as well.
