Books with title The Mischief Monster

It's Halloween and five monsters are brewing a savory Halloween stew. Each monster adds something special to the mixture-a juicy frog, a bat, a hairy spider. But when the littlest monster gets too curious and tips over the pot, the stew runs away! Little Moe is inconsolable (and very hungry) until a knock on the door brings an unexpected guest -and a big Halloween surprise.

Sometimes when you get what you want, it's not as good as you thought it would be. Ever since Edward's good friend Moongobble became a full magician, life has been rather boring. No more adventures. But then Snelly comes bursting into their lives. Snelly is small -- only a foot tall -- but she's a bundle of trouble. She's the daughter of the queen of the Mischief Monsters, and she has run away. Edward, Moongobble, and their friends learn that they must return Snelly to her home right away, or her mom will start a Mischief War. And that would be really annoying! So Edward, Moongobble, Urk, and Fireball set off on another adventure, this time to return Snelly to her home in Monster Mountain. But when they get there they find a bigger surprise waiting for them than they ever could have imagined. And Edward won't have to worry about being bored for a very long time!

Stephen Crane (1850-1893) is regarded as a master of American short story writing. First published in 1898, “The Monster” is one of his best-known novellas. It is a study of prejudice, fear and isolation in a small town near New York, where an African-American man suffers the pains of social exclusion after being disfigured by fire in order to save another man. This edition also contains the enlightening essay “A Note on Stephen Crane” written by literary critic and painter John D. Barry (1866-1942) in 1901.
