This is a fun Scooby-Doo like mystery--except the monsters are the victims and the ones solving the mystery! Elvira Vance is a feisty half-monster half-human who is intensely devoted to her friends, family, and home. She'll do anything to protect them--sneak out when she's grounded, make a deal with a ghost (never make a deal with a ghost!), and sneak into a deadly werewolf's lair. Action packed and full of spunk, readers will love going on this wild ride with Elvira Vance as she fights for monster rights and against discrimination all while solving a whodunnit-type mystery. Loved it!

Kacy Ritter has done it again with a wonderful sophomore novel. Elvira Vance is a half-siren and the daughter of Vince Vance of Vince Vance’s Vintage Trailer Park Inn for Monsters. She has a big mystery to solve when the crown for the Marfa Monster Festival disappears and monsters begin going missing. The humans are blaming the monsters for all the problems, and anti-monster sentiment is growing. Elvira knows that it is up to her to use her powers as a siren to find out what is really going on and keep the monster community from being destroyed. With the help of her two best friends, she collects evidence from all kinds of interesting, unusual creatures. This fast-paced page-turner will have readers rooting for Elvira from the very beginning, and it is sure to be a favorite of all who enjoy stories full of mystery and adventure.
