Romeo and the Monsters
When Romeo Addison turns 12, he will be sent to a private school in a large handsome mansion, as per his great-great-great-granduncle’s last will and testament. The first young man from the Addison family to graduate with honours from the school shall inherit all of the uncle’s sizeable property. But the manor is a strange place, where the teaching staff includes zombies, a ghost and a werewolf. Luckily, Romeo’s clever cousin Jillian also goes to the same school. Together, the cousins begin to unravel the wild secrets of the family estate…
Romeo and the Monsters is a spine-tingling, hair-raising blend of adventure and comedy.
