Monster High

This is the first book in Monster High series. The story was authored by Lisi Harrison, a debut book with a fresh twist on romance, high school and the horrors of trying to fit in. They prefer to call themselves the Regular Attribute Dodgers (RAD), but some people call them monsters, and so far the monster society has kept a low profile in Salem, however this year, two girls enroll in monster high and the town will never be the same again. Created just two weeks ago, Frankie Stein is thrilled to trade her father’s basement lab for cheerleading and parties. However, with the whole student governing body shocked out by the rumors of monsters who could be spying the halls, but Frankie finds out that the life in the normal world could be tough for a chic freak like her.

This story starts out with Melody and her family relocating to California to Salem in Oregon because she has terrible asthma. She had just undergone a nose surgery that had made her pretty even though she still feels like a fraud.

The story then switches Frankie Stein, a new student at Merston High, and only aged 15 days only. She is the granddaughter of Frankenstein, and she has to hide what she is and just fit into her new school. This narrative is told from two different points of views; from Frankie’s and Melody. You will love the idea of monster children having descendants, and here you will find creatures such as Medusa, Dracula, and others. The characters are multidimensional, and detailed, this aspect enables the reader to have a depth and detailed understanding of the characters strengths and weaknesses.

Melody Carver and Frankie Stein are the two main characters in this story, they are two opposites, and each one of them is the contrary of the other. Frankie is a monster and is not allowed to do some of the things that the typical teenagers do, on the other hand, Melody suffers from Asthma and worries about her appearance even after having undergone surgery.

It is amazing to see how Frankie matures from being homeschooled and only knowing her parents (her creators) to attending schools, making friends and appreciating the person she is and accepting that it is okay to be what she is.

However, on the other hand, Melody was raised and later becomes more comfortable with herself too. Her thought of being ugly even after having undergone surgery, she learns to relax some little more and even starts liking a boy.

The Ghoul Next Door

We also meet Bekka, who constantly reminds Melody that she is running out of time via text messaging. On the other hand, Frankie in a noble act decides that the best way is to turn herself in since she is the reason as to why the RAD’s and her family were exposed.

On the other hand, Bekka is not far behind, and she with her sidekick will stop at nothing to prove to the whole world that monsters exist.

The second series installment is told from three different points of views; from Frankie, Melody, and Cleo. Cleo is featured as a stuck up, arrogant, and a selfish character. However, what could you expect from a girl destined to be a queen? She is dethroned by Frankie and Melody, and in return, she does not rest until she is back to the top once again.
