This is the first book in a series of four about a girl, named Rilla, who recieves a mysterious present in the mail announcing that someone has bought her a year-long subscription to the Monster of the Month Club. Every month she recieves a new monster in the mail. No one ever told her that the monsters would be live ones! Each monster comes complete with feeding instructions and strange warnings that must be heeded, or else . . .

These are extremely funny books that will keep you laughing till the very end. As a Librarian, I recommend this book all the time to children (and adults) and they love it.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. After beginning to read it I'd realized that I'd read this book before when I was younger. I also remembered how much I loved and still love the story.

Rilla Harmony Earth is embarrassed by her family because they don't let her do "normal" things like go to public school, eat junk food, or drink sodas. She has to be quiet in her own home because her home is a bed and breakfast that is owned by her mother and her aunt. One day Rilla goes to the mailbox and finds a box addressed to her from the Monster of the Month club. When she gets it into her room, which is the attic, and opens it something foreign and furry climbs out of the box. Rilla realizes that this is no ordinary club. That's not the only monster she receives.

This really is a great read. I loved it and will wind up reading it again. Dian Curtis Regan did a really great job with the plot of this book and I was intrigued throughout the entire story from the very first sentence.

This book is not only really funny, but unpredictable and interesting. When I saw the cover, I wasn't sure if it was a good book. But when I started reading, I didn't want to put the book down! Everyone should read it.

Monster of the month club was an okay book. There were only two monsters in it and Rilla was more involved in her personal life than the two monsters.
