Good MG Read

Let the Monster Out by Chad Lucas

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


This is a good MG read that has some Stranger Things vibes and such. I liked this story, but it wasn’t my norm and I wasn’t the target audience so I think that’s part of why I didn’t get as much out of it. I think the target audience would enjoy, love, and get more out of it.
It deals with some good topics about autism, such as a child deciding to ask their parents about finding out about themselves and if they’re autistic, etc or not. Also, it talks about and deals with anger, bullying, and what it’s like for children to find themselves, figure things out for themselves, find their groups, the people that will be their true friends, and the importance of family as well.
This is a story about a group of kids in a town where things start to go awry with the grown-ups. The adults start to behave very strangely and out of character so the group of friends go investigate to find what the reason behind their changed behavior is. They discover that a strange and mysterious corporation/business is behind why the grown-ups begin acting strangely and they all have to face their fears.
If you’re looking for something that has a mystery/Stranger Things vibes, that’s great for Middle-Grade readers and such then make sure to look at this one. Thanks to NetGalley and Abrams Kids/Amulet Books for letting me read and review this story. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
