Marsico, Katie Magic Monsters from
Witches to Goblins (Monster Mania Series) NON-FICTION. Lerner,
2017. $24.99. Content: G.
This book features historical and modern day references to Witches and Goblins, branching
out into many variations of these creatures like skinwalkers, jinn, and more.
It features lots of movie references and imagery, including drawings,
photographs, and stills from movies.
I found this book to be flat out confusing and disorganized. Though
its divided into chapters, its just felt like a jumbled up large amount of
information. It would have read a lot better if there was a chapter on witches
and a separate chapter on Goblins, with chronological historical then modern day
references. Then maybe a final chapter on real versus make believe. As books
from this publisher are expensive, I can’t recommend this book to a school
library with limited funding. Just choose a mythical monster or creature book
instead.
