Eight-year-old Mandy isn’t what you’d call an emotional child. Whether at her own surprise birthday party, scoring the winning goal, or being stung by a bee, Mandy doesn’t show her feelings. Instead she draws them as MONSTERS in her sketchbook! But one day her emotions run wild and those monsters escape! Mandy’s only help catching them is an eccentric monster named Happster, who causes more problems than he solves. Can Mandy catch all the sketch monsters and return them to her sketchbook before they destroy her town?

From Booklist:

Eight-year-old Mandy never shows her feelings, whether she gets surprised at her own birthday party, scores the winning goal in a soccer game, or is stung by a bee. Instead, she draws her feelings as monsters in her sketchbook. When her older sister leaves home to go to college, Mandy spends all day drawing such monsters. That night they all escape from the book and run away, except Happster, who explains that Mandy must tell each monster how she feels about it in order for it to return to her sketchbook. As Mandy and Happster find the other monsters, she starts to experience the feelings she has hidden in each. Navarrete draws Mandy’s monsters as bright, colorful, childish crayon drawings. Without becoming didactic, Williamson’s story lets young readers know that it’s okay to feel happy, sad, silly, angry, or scared and that one shouldn’t bottle up feelings inside. Some young readers may even be inspired to start their own sketchbook. Grades 2-4. --Kat Kan
