Monster Movie!
ByPublisher Description
In this hair-raising and hilarious novel by New York Times bestselling author Chuck Wendig, a boy must face his fears to save his town from a cursed videotape—before “The Scariest Movie Ever Made” devours his friends and family.
Ethan Pitowski is afraid of everything. Luckily, his best friends don’t mind, and when their entire class gets invited to watch a long-buried horror movie at the most popular boy in school’s house, Ethan’s friends encourage him to join in the fun. But when the “scariest movie ever made” reveals itself to be not just a movie about a monster, but a movie that is a monster, only a terrified Ethan escapes its clutches. Now he must find a way to stop the monster and save his friends (and also, um, get their heads back).
With his signature balance of kid-friendly horror and humor, Chuck Wendig crafts a spookily heartfelt novel about anxiety, friendship, and finding your unique voice and inner strength.

“Oh my days when i saw the email that Chuck Wendig had written another Middle Grade Horror I was excited as I thoroughly enjoyed Dust & Grim.
This time Chuck uses this story to show that anyone can be a hero even if you are scared about a lot of things and I absolutely loved that. I also think that Chuck handled the topic of Anxiety really well and that is coming from a person who suffers from it.
I'm not going to say anymore as I do not do spoilers but what I will say this if you looking for a book with laughs and scares this is the perfect book for you.
For all the above reasons Monster Movie receives 5 stars.”

“I got this book for free, in exchange for my honest opinion via Little, Brown Books for Young Readers.
Ethan is scared of everything. And I mean everything. Germs, choking, horror films. You get the idea. So when one of the most popular kids in school invites his fellow classmates to watch the scariest movie ever made, Ethan’s two best friends try to convince him to go. And he’s terrified. Nothing they say can change his mind. That is, until Olivia calls and tells him he needs to make an appearance. However, when Ethan arrives, he realises that this indeed is the scariest movie, it’s unleashed a monster bent on destroying the town, and he must be brave and face his fears to save everyone and everything that he loves.
Ethan is a great lead, his strength and courage, his anxiety and art, his determination to stick with his friends. He’s easy to root for. Even though this book is geared toward middle grade, I felt seen. I too, am a ball of anxiety. It almost appears that his parents kind of created it for him, where mine is all natural. I also need to add in here real quick, that I enjoyed seeing names like Robert Englund and Freddy Krueger pop up in the book. As a lover of horror movies, I kind of geeked out at that.
I found this a surprisingly creepy story for kind. I’d say it’s more intense than a “Goosebumps” book. It’s better suited for the mature side of middle grade, as Wendig doesn’t hold back on the scares. I also enjoyed the message of not staying strong and brave in the face of adversity, especially when standing up for what’s right.
Overall, this is a wonderful read, and would certainly recommend to any middle grade reader who is into horror.
Thank you, Little, Brown Books for Young Readers and Chuck Wendig for allowing me to review! As always, my review is my own opinion and thoughts. This review will be shared to my Instagram @what_emm_reads shortly.”
