The story is a worthy addition to the fantasy genre; the hero is compelling and the quests require bravery, intelligence and agility from Erec and his friends. The characters elicit strong responses from the readers: kinship for Erec as he struggles to adapt to a new world, admiration for Bethany's intelligence and loyalty, disgust at Baskania's body bulging with stolen eyes. Young readers will be intrigued by a world filled with magic, friendship and thought-provoking adventures.
Devon Werkheiser, Nickelodeon TV Star, "Ned" on Ned's Declassified
Monsters of Otherness is an awesome adventure, full of twists and turns, cool characters, mystery, and a lot of fun. Erec follows his heart when it's not the easy thing to do, and hoes against the odds to do what's right. This is a wildly exciting book with pedal to the metal attitude!
