In this book princess magnolia goes the science fair and one kid makes a monster and its in the volcano so the monster and the princess in black and the monster waged battle the super heroes carried the monster back to monstar land .

Julia Alvarez makes characters and their experiences come alive. Told in 1st person point of view, I laughed and cried as 10 year old Miguel related life in a new town after his parent's divorce. Chapter 3 is a real gem angling internal & external conflict.
