4.0 out of 5 stars A Scary Change, April 12, 2005
A Kid's Review
When you are alone do you ever think about monsters? Well if not then after you read this book you will. You will because of the monsters ring. The ring works like this: Step 1: You twist it once around and you get fangs as teeth in your mouth. When you twist it twice, which is step 2, you get horned and hairy. Then step 3: You twist the ring three times, but no person has dared.

In this book a kid named Russell is going to a Halloween party and he needed the perfect costume for it. I can make a text to world connection by saying every one had to go to get a costume. So he went all around town looking for the perfect costume but no store had one. So he went to the magic store and the clerk gave him a box with a ring in it and it was the monsters ring.

I personally think that the ring made him a horrible person and as the story went so did his attitude. The Monsters Ring is a flawless and very scary book. And also very interesting.
I would really recommend this book to lots of kids that like scary books and movies and to kids wirth the age of 10-13.

5.0 out of 5 stars Suspenseful, keeps the reader wondering., October 1, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Monster's Ring (Hardcover)
This book is great for every child that has a love for magic and a good imigination for fantasy. It touches the topic of school bullies and how to take care of them! I am using this book as part of my literature reading in my class for the month of October. I recommend that all children put on their magic rings and begin to read The Monster's Ring.
