About This Book

Crunching leaves and distant roars fill the crisp autumn air as Sylvie steps into a world where monsters aren’t just pretend—they’re real. Her skin prickles with the chill of the unknown, and every shadow hides a new surprise. Alone as the only human, Sylvie must find her courage in a camp where monsters come to life and friendships are tested.

Quick Assessment

This middle-grade fiction follows eleven-year-old Sylvie as she attends a monster-themed live-action role-playing camp, only to discover that the monsters are real. The story explores themes of belonging, bravery, and self-discovery in a fantasy setting suitable for ages 9-12. Parents should note the presence of mild fantasy peril and themes of identity but can expect a generally positive and imaginative tale.
