MONSTER HIGH:The Ghoul Next Door
By Lisi Harrison

The Drop-Dead Fah-Bulous Second Book in Lisi Harrison's MONSTER-ously Popular New York Times Best-Selling Series

Praise for MONSTER HIGH:

"Hilarious twist on conformity"−Girl's Life Magazine

"Reads like a funny fusion of Gossip Girl and The Munsters"−Newark Star Ledger

"With vampires and werewolves pretty much covered elsewhere...

[Lisi Harrison] decided to go wild on monsters in her new series."

−San Antonio Express-News

Tensions are running high as Melody teams up with Frankie in the race against time to try and stop Bekka from spilling Jackson's big secret. But Frankie has bigger plans in mind− she and Brett decide to film a documentary to further their "Monster" of a cause... but Bekka isn't about to let some monster steal her man!

Meanwhile, Cleo freaks when her friends start blowing her off to be in Frankie's documentary. Will Cleo stop at nothing to remain queen bee, even if it means teaming up with Bekka− a normie?!

Filled with Lisi Harrison's trademark wit and her own fresh twist on the "horrors" of fitting in, THE GHOUL NEXT DOOR, which follows the teen children of the world's most famous monsters, is sure to tickle the funny bone of even the most reserved of monsters...or rather teens.
