Overview
Claudette, Marie, and Gaston are no strangers to the struggle against evil. But even as seasoned fighters, nothing could prepare them for the danger their town will face as the host of the Warrior Games. As their town's representatives, they will not only need to win the games, but they must also stop the scheming Sea Queen's plans of resurrecting the wizard Grombach and conquer the world. Monsters Beware! continues the funny, fast, high-energy storytelling and inventive, perilous fantasy landscape established by the popular prequels, Dragons Beware! and Giants Beware!

Reviews
"Praise for The Chronicles of Claudette series: ""These stylish books -- there are three so far -- are called ""Giants Beware!,"" ""Monsters Beware!"" and ""Dragons Beware!,"" and they are just the thing for kids who like fractured fairy tales.""--New York Times Praise for Monsters Beware!: ""[Monsters Beware!] plays out with energy and charm in Rosado's swift, modern cartooning... the story never loses sight of the fact that friendship trumps winning, intelligence and diplomacy have their place in victory, and that it's not just shape but intention that makes a monster.""--Booklist"
Praise for Dragon's Beware! The series manages to foreground reasoning, diplomacy, and cooperation without sparing any of the freewheeling action or dragon-vomiting humor. --Booklist This rowdy adventure is sure to be a crowd pleaser. --Kirkus Kids will eat up this installment and eagerly await the next series offering. --SLJ Praise for Giant's Beware! Fast, fun, and joyous to look at! --Jeff Smith, author of Bone A young heroine and her two sidekicks set off on adventure in Giants Beware! --The New York Times A surefire hit! --Publishers Weekly, starred review Strong and lively! --School Library Journal, starred review The writing is great, the artwork is just stupendous - I can't recommend this book highly enough! --BoingBoing Geek Week Podcast
