Monster Green

Fourteen-year-old Peter Green can’t remember how he died. All he has are his pajamas, a silk tie, and a one-way bus ticket to Mrs. Battisworth’s Academy and Haven for Unliving Boys and Girls, a strange and spooky school for dead orphans like himself. But that’s all he needs. The Unliving Academy has everything, from vampires in the hallways to monsters in the cafeteria to ghosts in the basement. And that’s just the teachers; the students are far stranger.

This undead collection contains Peter Green and the Unliving Academy, Peter Green and the Skeleton Crew, and Peter Green and the Desert Disaster, starring fourteen-year-old Peter Green.

Peter Green’s exploits in the world of the Unliving have earned him quite the reputation, but some are still questioning if he’s the real deal. In fact, he’s not too sure himself if his first great and successful adventure wasn’t just… a stroke of luck, perhaps? However, he won’t get any time to figure it out—his uncle needs him and two new friends to venture out on a mission. And not just any mission… Vicious pirates, killer, shape-shifting mermaids, and danger unlike any they’ve ever faced await Peter and his friends. Failure is NOT an option.

1902, im Alter von 11 Jahren, brach Carl Panzram in das Haus eines Nachbarn ein und stahl einige Äpfel, einen Kuchen und einen Revolver. Da er häufig Unruhe stiftete, beschloss das Gericht, an ihm ein Exempel zu statuieren und ihn in die Obhut der Minnesota State Reform School zu geben. Während seiner zweijährigen Haftzeit wurde Carl vom Schulpersonal wiederholt geschlagen, gedemütigt und vergewaltigt.

A cute story with a great and important message. Today I'm a Monster explains that angry feelings come and go; doing bad things doesn't make you bad; a story is a good way to help children first recognize feelings; learn to treat each other better as well as be more tolerating; teaches us all that love and understanding make the difference; and showers the power of a mother's love. It will deeply touch a mother's heart, and the fun, rhyming text is spot-on. Quickly captures children's attention.

Young minds are full of all the excitement of the day, and they are not old enough yet to understand why they feel the way they do. While we associate going to bed and sleeping with rest and relaxation, children can sometimes become stressed and anxious as they are parted from their parents and siblings and worry about being left alone. Mary Fern’s Monster Under My Bed books have been carefully designed to help anxious children find restful sleep and to part with their fears.

Barely having survived his last adventure, it isn’t long before Peter Green is cast into peril once more. Thankfully, he seems to be getting a grasp of his “Other” abilities–his magic abilities–and it's starting to give him an edge in the battle against the victims of the otherworld. But what happens when disaster strikes where it hurts him the most, and his new best friends are placed in great danger? This may not be a mission that Peter and his friends return from.
