MONSTER KINGDOM

By Greg Kishbaugh

Armstrong Stewart has enough on his plate — struggling to keep up in school, convincing the love of his life that he actually exists, and staying in his overprotective mother's good graces. The last thing he needs is a maniacal, foam-mouthed beast chasing him home on Halloween night.

But the beast comes bearing a message. Beyond the human world lies a Monster Kingdom, connected to ours through portals scattered across the globe. A group of half-monsters called the Keepers of the Gates has always shouldered the responsibility of keeping both realms safe — and separated. And now, that responsibility falls to their newest member: Armstrong Stewart.

Sci-Fi, YA

I also feel like a little bit of The Hunger Games, Divergent, and Smart House is sprinkled in there. @Parker Lyons | Author #supportindieauthors #indieauthor #booktok #scifi #series ♬ original sound - Simply Sonya 📚
