Chronicles of the Monster Detective Agency
Will Allen and the Great Monster Detective
The inaugural title in the Chronicles of the Monster Detective Agency series, Will Allen and the Great Monster Detective (ISBN: 978-0-9789512-0-7, $5.95), is the adventure of a clever but timid boy whose fears have literally come to life, and how, with some very special help, he learns to conquer them. Targeted at readers who already enjoy Bailey School Kids, The Magic Tree House, and Goosebumps books, this humorous mix of Ghostbusters and Monsters Inc. is more than just a spooky, yet whimsical fantasy. It also adds a new tool for helping children overcome anxieties by metaphorically providing young readers with a model for confronting their own fears. But just because it has a message, that doesn’t mean it’s not loads of fun to read. In its review, Bookviews.com called the book, “Wildly entertaining…Funny from first page to last!”
The next volume in this series is

But when his very first client is tormented by strange images that Will does not understand, can even timely assistance from Will’s best friend and partner, Jeannine Fitsimmons, help him solve the mystery and reveal the true monster in time to save them all from the razor-sharp claws of a terrifying HARPY?

In this first story we meet young Will (please don't call me Hiram) Stanley, a boy with a keen mind and a fire in his belly. Too much of a fire, as it turns out, for either of his parents to deal wtih him, especially now that they are embroiled in a messy divorce. His adventures take him from a small New York apartment to a posh New England estate. But escaping the bitterness of his conflicted family isn't the cure-all that he expects it to be.
