Angela Bejar | 3 comments The book in question is red or green hardcover. It had to have been published either during or before 2008. I was in like the 5th grade when I remember reading the book. The plot is about two kids, brother and sister who live with their parents in a world of monsters. There are pictures/hand drawn pictures of the monsters. The book itself is pretty long i think. I do remember i got it in the chapter book section in the school library. I don’t remember too much about the plot but i do believe in the end they may save the parents from being eaten? I am not much help with details but i will add more, if i remember.

Angela, I moved your request to the "Unsolved" folder because you're looking for one specific book.

I copied plot and book details to the topic header. Feel free to edit it.

Are they a human family?

Are the illustrations: simple or detailed, realistic or cartoon-like, painted watercolors or bold graphics, black-and-white or color?

Angela Bejar | 3 comments Yes the family is human. Thank you for moving my post!

Angela, can you describe the monsters?

How does the family survive in a world of monsters? Do they have special powers or weapons?

Does the world look like contemporary Earth?

This copy of The Monstrous Memoirs of a Mighty McFearless by Ahmet Zappa on eBay shows some of the illustrated pages:
