The Monster High books are written by Lisi Harrison, the New York Times bestselling author of The Clique and Alphas. The books take place in a different fictional universe than the webisodes and deal with the Regular Attribute Dodgers (RADs) and their struggles to find dates and not be outed as monsters to humans.
Mattel released the first Monster High novel on September 20, 2010. The next book, “The Ghoul Next Door”, was released at the end of March and features chapters on Cleo de Nile. The third book is due in September 2011 and appears to feature chapters with Clawdeen. It’s titled “Where There’s a Wolf, There’s a Way”
So What Are The Novels About?
Book 1 – Monster High
The monster community has kept a low profile at the local high school, but when two new girls enroll, the town will never be the same. Created just fifteen days ago, Frankie Stein is psyched to trade her father’s formaldehyde-smelling basement lab for parties and prom.
But with a student body totally freaked out by rumors of monsters stalking the halls, Frankie learns that high school can be rough for a chic freak like her. She thinks she finds a friend in fellow new student Melody Carver-but can a “normie” be trusted with her big secret?
Book 2 – The Ghoul Next Door
Cleo was the queen bee of the RADs, the normies, and everyone in between at Merston High. But now it’s “Frankie this” and “Melody that” . . . these new girls sure know how to get her lashes in a tangle. When Cleo lands a Golden Teen Vogue photo opp for her friends everything seems to be back on track…until they bail to be in some film . . . Frankie and Melody’s film! Can’t a royal get some loyal?
