I read this book because it is on our Maine Student Book Award list this year. This book has many genres. It is a little bit fantasy and realistic fiction. It is about this boy named Jack who found a baby on his doorstep. His mom said to keep the baby until the owner comes to get him. That night when the moon comes up, the baby turns into a monster. It is a baby during the day and a monster by night. Jack was freaked out at first, but realized that the baby was friendly.
One night, two monsters came in and tried to capture the baby. One of them was bad, the other one was good. So Jack hopped on the good monster and went into the monster world called Always October. Lily is Jack's friend and she joined them inside Always October. Inside, there was a lot of weird stuff. There are spiders trying to eat people, chases, tunnels, monsters and more. At the end the bad monsters try to kill the baby monster. Jack and Lily's goal is to keep the baby safe in order to keep the monster world and the human world from being torn apart. I don't want to tell the rest, you would have to find that out yourself.
Go get it right now you won't regret it.
