The Monster at the End of This Book

Author: Jon Stone

The Monster at the End of This Book had drifted from my memory until I bumped into this morning while shelving books. Just seeing the cover brought an instant smile to my face. My smile continued to grow as I opened the book and Grover began to plead with me to avoid the monster at the end of the story. He pleads, he blocks, and does everything in his power to stop me from reaching the end.

The book is a big self-esteem booster because Grover recognizes the readers strength, determination, and courage as he or she moves closer to the end and the monster. I won't say more about the book just in case the book has slipped your mind also so that you can have the same happiness that I experienced this morning.

What better praise can I give for a book other than the fact that it has been 14 hours since I read it, and thinking about it still makes me smile. Thank you Grover!!
