Spring Break Special
(Also available in paperback)
Book 1 in the fun, spooky Monster Moon Mystery series for ages 8 – 12. It’s almost Halloween, and twelve-year-old AJ Zantony’s world is threatened by an ancient curse that releases wicked pirates who had been trapped for centuries in his Aunt Zsofia’s creepy mansion, Zala Manor.
The pirates–a vampire count, a pegleg skeleton, and a zombie–have three goals: to find a lost treasure, unleash the restless dead from their graves, and to settle a very old score by destroying the Zantony bloodline.
AJ has to stop them before midnight during Aunt Zsofia’s annual Halloween party. Except he has a big problem–monster phobia! He’s scared to death of monsters. But if he doesn’t act fast, the streets of Craggy Cove will be crawling with zombies.
Will AJ overcome his fear and stop the monsters or bail out? Will Craggy Cove become Zombie Central? Who will be alive when midnight tolls?

Reviews of Curse at Zala Manor:
In the vein of The Goonies and There’s a Batwing in My Lunchbox comes Monster Moon: Curse at Zala Manor…. This book has it all: secret tunnels and talking animals, mad science and real monsters. This is the perfect…book for in-class reading in elementary schools and early middle schools. Equal parts scary, mysterious, gross and silly, it’s pure fun. It’s definitely recommended for all collections aimed at fostering a love of reading. ~Monster Librarian
Fun, silly, creepy, gross kiddo read.
If I were a teacher, this is what I [would] read my class…. 4.5 out of 5 stars.

I reviewed this book too but I didn’t keep a copy, darn. I loved Curse at Zala Manor! Wow, I just realized you guys are great at coming up with the good titles!! 🙂
p.s. when you suggested using Night Creeps in the title, how would you put it together?
I replied to this on FB. No wonder I couldn’t find your comment!
Thanks, Yvette! I think your review is on Amazon, isn’t it?
