GFFs Rochelle, Robecca, and Venus begin to settle in at Monster High and are having a fangtastic time getting involved in the student body. Rochelle is tutoring the trolls, Robecca is blasting onto the Skulltimate Roller Maze team, and Venus is starting a compost pile with Lagoona Blue! The ghoulfriends are even recruited to help Toralei and Cleo plan the Hex Factor Talent Show.
But during Mr. Mummy's Catacombing class, the ghouls find hints of a new threat to the school. And when white cats start showing up around the Creepateria-a bad omen for monsters!-the GFFs begin to wonder if their fun is over. Is Toralei playing pranks? Or is something more sinister haunting the halls of Monster High?

Gr 4-6-This story centers on the friendship of three Monster High students: Venus Mcflytrap, Robecca Steam, and Rochelle Goyle. These "ghoulfriends" try to abide by the Gargoyle Code of Ethics, and Monster High is like a regular high school except with monsters, gore, and scare fests. They are very excited to be invited to join the "Frightingale Society," "an all-ghouls sorority dedicated to community service and fostering lifelong friendships among monsters," but when Robecca sees a white cat, the trio knows that the bad omen means something evil is afoot. This series takes naming to the extreme with various plays on words. There's the expression "bat on a hot tin roof," "Fearleading" rather than cheerleading, "Scarisian" instead of Parisian, etc. Characters have names such as Miss Sue Nami and say things such as "Merci boo-coup" and "fangtastique." Students take Mad Science, G-ogre-phy, and Physical Deaducation and check their iCoffins for their class schedules. The writing is fast paced, scattered, and laden with "Monster High" marketing as the author references the franchise often without context. The black-and-white animelike illustrations work well with the text.-Lisa Gieskes, Richland County Public Library, Columbia, SC

At Monster High, where students attend classes such as Physical Deaducation and Mad Science, weird omens are cropping up all over and ominous notes predict something bad is about to happen. Filled with endless puns and too many characters, this silly book will likely only appeal to fans of the dolls and show.(Copyright 2013 by The Horn Book, Incorporated, Boston. All rights reserved.)
