Title: Monsterland
Author: Michael Okon
Genre: YA
Welcome to Monsterland—the scariest place on Earth.
The last couple years of high school have not been fun for Wyatt
Baldwin. His parents divorce, then his dad mysteriously dies. He’s not exactly
comfortable with his new stepfather, Carter White, either. An on-going debate
with his best friends Howard Drucker and Melvin over which monster is superior
has gotten stale. He’d much rather spend his days with beautiful and popular
Jade. However, she’s dating the brash high-school quarterback Nolan, and Wyatt
thinks he doesn’t stand a chance.
But everything changes when Wyatt and his friends are invited to attend
the grand opening of Monsterland, a groundbreaking theme park where guests can
rock out with vampires at Vampire Village, be chased by actual werewolves on
the Werewolf River Run, and walk among the dead in Zombieville.
With real werewolves, vampires and zombies as the main attractions, what
could possibly go wrong?

The world
narrowed to the two of them, and the hunchback laughed hard then, as if he knew
something that Howard didn’t. Howard felt panic return, his stomach tightening
in his gut until the only thing he felt was the beating of his heart in time to
the pounding drums.
A roar
exploded behind the teens. They twisted to the rear; their jaws dropped when a
vampire wearing huge rawhide wings soared over the arena in a graceful arc.
Wyatt
pointed to the other side of the theater and yelled, “Look!”
They
turned to see five more vampires gliding toward them, their leathery wings
creating enough wind to cool the overheated crowd.
People
were screaming and gasping, some were laughing. The flying vampires were
skimpily clad females. Howard wondered how they had the strength to pluck
members of the audience up and bring them airborne to the stage.
Screams of
“Take me!” filled the air from the spellbound audience.
Underneath
their feet, the ground shifted, and the entire amphitheater began to vibrate,
as the floor circled in one direction and the stage moved in the other.
The boys grabbed each other’s arms as they moved slightly
off-balance. Howard and Wyatt felt a tug and stared slack-jawed as Theo was
snatched from his spot by one of the flying vampires. Theo’s sneaker slammed
into the person’s head in front of him as he was dragged to the revolving
stage.
