Monster Mashers

MONSTER MASHERS

SAVE THE MONSTERS!

Danny Keegan and his monster pals C.D. Bitesky, Howie Wolfner, and Elisa and Frankie Stein are thrilled when their old friend Zelda Bella—who they think may be a witch—turns up as the star of the new TV show Mother Scary’s Matinee.

But Zelda Bella’s TV career may be short-lived. Weird Arthur Debarber and his Monster Mashers want to keep Brooklyn monster-free, and they’re determined to see Mother Scary off the air—and deported to Rumania.

It’s up to Danny and his friends to save Zelda Bella. If the Monster Mashers succeed, they won’t stop until C.D., Howie, and the Steins have been sent back to where they came from, too!

WELCOME TO P.S. 13 and the crazy classroom of THE FIFTH GRADE MONSTERS!
