About the book
The Tentacled Terror (The Monster Files)
Featuring large type and illustrations on every page, this is the perfect bridge book for kids ages 5-9 who have graduated from leveled readers and are ready for young chapter books.
A shapeshifting tentacled creature has found its way into Baffling Elementary through a portal in the boys' bathroom--and it's on the loose in the school! Best friends Mia, Noah, and Lucas get to work trying to find the monster. Can they capture it and flush it away before a group of visiting parents sees it? With neon Pantone on the cover and a single Pantone color accents throughout. Filled with humor, easy-to-read language in large type, and illustrations on every page, the Monster Files books are perfect for kids who are ready for beginning readers.
