This book is the complete collection of the Mysterious Monsters series. The Mattigan kids don't believe in things that go bump in the night. After all, their dad is famous for proving such things are impossible. But, when their long-lost Grandpa Joe shows up with his Mysterious Monsters journal, begging for help, the siblings find themselves drawn into a search for Bigfoot, Aliens, Vampires, Ghosts, Werewolves, and more. Along the way, they'll have to deal with meddling babysitters, suspicious psychics, a YouTube disaster, and their furious father. To solve this mystery, Maddie, Max, and Theo must rethink what's possible—and make lots of peanut butter and banana sandwiches.

People with fairy blood in their veins should be careful when saying, "I wish..."Faye Woods, 11, thinks that would have been good to know *before* she wished she didn't have a brother--and knowing she was part-fairy might have been useful information too.Faye and her little brother, Flub, are the newest residents of quirky, beautiful Spring Hollow, a neighborhood where the houses have names like Hawk Briar and Jack Rabbit Run--and where a hole in a park fence leads to Spring Hollow's magical Other Side.Brenna Guin and Lupe Garcia have lived in Spring Hollow all their lives, though on opposite sides, but they have never seen anything like what they find when they follow Faye and Flub through the hole in the fence.When an evil shadow from Spring Hollow's past emerges from the Other Side to threaten Flub, Faye and Brenna and Lupe must work together to rescue Flub before the sun rises.

Things are getting complicated for Maddie, Max, and Theo. After all, it's not easy to hide a Sasquatch, an alien, and a vampire in your basement. So it's a relief to head out on another mission with their dad, this one to prove a small town Oregon boy couldn't really have been possessed by a ghost. The kids are sure they'll be collecting a new Mysterious Monster for "Motel Mattigan," but sorting out the truth this time will force them to look inside themselves like they never have before.
