Geisel Award-winning author and illustrator Ethan Long turns his attention to the day of thanks with a story that's to die for.
It's the fourth Thursday of November, and the members of Fright Club are cooking up something spooky . . . a Thanksgiving feast!
But when Vlad's family arrives unexpectedly, they put their own spin on each of the dishes. Now, the rolls are as hard as headstones and the turkey has been cooked to death. Vlad loves his family, but they've made a mess of their meal!
Can this monster-filled family come together to save their feast and celebrate what the holiday is truly about?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In Long's third book to feature the green-and-purple-hued Fright Club monsters, Vampire Vladimir and his friends are busy preparing a Thanksgiving feast. Then, the vampire's extended family members make an unexpected appearance. Though "it was a happy reunion," they bring some chaos to the gathering. Aunt Bessy makes her own mashed potatoes with eyeballs and earwax (not garlic); commandeering the turkey, Uncle Gus "cooked it to death"; and just when they are about to sit down to eat, slobbery dog Spike devours everything. Vladimir hits his breaking point: "You ruined Thanksgiving!" But family is family, and the motley group of monsters work together to improvise a new meal. Holidays don't always go as planned, Long asserts, and that's okay. Ages 3 6.
