Now, she has to learn to live to cope in a world that think she's the odd girl out when she used to be so popular back home.



My Review: I seriously loved this book and I'm kind of sad that they didn't make more. Seriously, I thought there would be several in this series but I can only find this one book.



To me this was kind of like normal California Girl goes to Monster High.



It was super cute but a little choppy in the beginning because I was having a hard time understanding if Priscilla's Mom and Dad really died or if they just sent her away. That probably needed a couple more panels to make it more clear.



THe characters were very well drawn and I adored all the clothes they wore!! Super cute!!



There were funny parts here and there and I think the best character was Broonie the Boogey Monster that lived under Priscilla's bed. She resembled a cat with many legs and loved to eat socks and dust bunnies. Her favorite thing to eat was denim lint.



I don't think there was anything bad in this book. There might have been a swear word here or there. I honestly don't know why that was added but if you can get by that I think this book would be fine for an 11 year old.



Its super cute and I really wish I knew what was going to happen next. I can't imagine why there weren't more of these made. It was a fun read that definitely deserved to continue.
