Monster on the Hill by Rob Harrell
This book explores monsters in a way you've never seen them before. In a world where each town has it's own monster who regularly rampages through the square and gives the townsfolk something to look forward to, Stoker-on-Avon had gotten the short end of the stick. Their monster, Rayburn, is depressed and hasn't rampaged in years. Plucky orphan Timothy and the slightly-mad scientist Dr. Charles Wilkie must turn Rayburn into a proper monster before the horrible Murk destroys the town. With a great, unique, story, Monster on the Hill also bears an awesome cartoony style with a muted color palate that lends an air of sophistication. This book is clever, funny, and doesn't take itself too seriously. It can be read straight by young readers but there's plenty of nuance for older readers too.
