Morley Manor is the spookiest house in Owl's Roost, Nebraska and Old Man Morley has passed away. A developer has bought it and is going to tear it down, so all the contents are up for sale to clear it out.

Anthony and his sister Sarah decide to check out the weirdest house and see what they may find. Much of the stuff is either too expensive or gets snatched up by all the folks that came to see. While in the library, Sarah sees an unusual box and points it out to Anthony. It isn't priced so they wind up negotiating for it and get it.

When Anthony later pries it open he finds another box with "Martin Morley's Little Monsters" on it, along with "Open not this box lest my curse fall upon you." Old Man Morley was considered weird and this just seemed to prove it....especially when he saw what was inside - five tiny metal statues of strange looks.

From this point on magic, science and strangeness start and take the kids on the weirdest adventure you can imagine to places you can't. "Werewolves, vampires, wizards, aliens and more populate this wild tale of how two clever kids save the world from an unearthly fate.

A fun read and one that has humour and adventure. Worth the time. ( )

I love Bruce Coville and this book had such a fun cover that I decided to give it a shot. Sarah and Anthony bring a box with some monster toys in it only to discover that the monsters are alive and were once human sized. Sarah and Anthony return them to their full size and they realize that the Earth is in danger.

It was a fun story and the variety of characters were really interesting. It's a neat quick read. ( )
