This book in the Monster Sitter series is one of the best. Nelly go's to the Polarbores', the Digdiggs and the Drendilegs in this thrilling book! A must read, and a great book overall.

Just seeing the cover of this brings back SO MUCH nostalgia! Nelly the Monster Sitter was legit such a legend, I’d completely forgotten about these books!!!! 👽

I decided to read this book because my older sister read it and recommended it to me. My favorite character was Nelly mainly because I love the way she thinks, it's super funny and devious. My favorite quote from the book is "Then the whole world would know that Mr Sturgis wears . . . HOLLY LEAF UNDERPANTS!/REINDEER UNDERPANTS" This i my favorite quote because it's really funny. The new thing I learnt from this book is that when you really want to get your readers hocked on a book you have to make the book interesting all through out so you don't bore them to death unless their a Polarbore then it's okay. Overall I think the book was funny and added new creatures to my imagination.
