""Spine-chilling and creepy!"" -Max Brallier, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Last Kids on Earth, on Escape From Grimstone Manor (Monsterious, Book 1) Seventh grade scientists Rowan, Tinker, and Amari are thrilled to spend the weekend at a biosphere research facility in the Arizona desert, sealed off from the outside world to preserve its specially engineered ecosystems. The kids are surprised to discover an adorable baby animal in one of the lab's environments that doesn't look like anything they've ever seen in the wild, but when they ask the adult scientists about it, no one believes them, and now the creature is nowhere to be found. Soon, strange things start happening- the kids discover what looks like a secret testing facility in the basement, one of the scientists suffers a mysterious injury that looks like an animal attack, and the lab's locking and communications systems break down, trapping everyone inside. And when the mystery creature appears again, it's not quite so cute and harmless anymore...

Reviews
"Praise for Escape from Grimstone Manor (Monsterious, Book One): “Deftly explores themes such as courage and the challenges of being vulnerable with friends. There are no dull moments in this rapidly paced tale that’s loaded with action . . . Frighteningly fun.” —Kirkus Reviews “Adventure with Goosebumps vibes . . . A horror-tinged thriller that’s more rollicking than revolting.” —Publishers Weekly Praise for The Snatcher of Raven Hollow (Monsterious, Book 2): “Thoroughly entertaining . . . Striving middle school readers interested in mysteries or creepy horror will be particularly enthralled.” —Kirkus Reviews Praise for Terror in Shadow Canyon (Monsterious, Book 3): ""A strength of the series and this title in particular is the tight focus on plotting while characters also work through complex problems . . . McMann strikes a balance between suspenseful storytelling and strong characterization in another quick-moving, action-packed story with plenty of gore and terror."" —Kirkus Reviews"
