  <description><![CDATA[Alonzo King dreams of being known as The Boy of a Thousand Faces after  his hero, Lon Chaney, late star of horror films. Alone in his room he transforms  his face with makeup and tape, and then takes pictures with a Polaroid. In a  town of nonbelievers, Alonzo is an expert on monsters, vampires, and assorted  ghouls. One year, as Halloween approaches (as does Alonzo's 10th birthday),  rumors of a mysterious beast start circulating, and suddenly Alonzo's grisly  expertise is in great demand. But who--or what--is this horrible beast that  crushes gladiolas in the night and leaves claw prints on cars? And will Alonzo's  wish for fame and understanding from his friends and neighbors ever come  true?<p>  Brian Selznick's black-and-white pencil drawings set a spooky stage for this  story of intrigue and imagination. Although the plot is convoluted and faintly  perplexing, the overall effect is pleasingly sinister. Close-ups of Mr. Blake,  Alonzo's seemingly mild-mannered neighbor and cohort in all things macabre,  inspire speculation about skeletons he may be harboring in his own closet.  Readers will want to run right out and read <em>The Lost City of Atlantis</em>, or  rent the old classic versions of <em>Frankenstein</em>, <em>The Phantom of the  Opera</em>, and <em>Dracula</em>. Perfect Halloween fare from the illustrator of  Andrew Clements's <em>Frindle</em>  and Pam Munoz Ryan's <em>Amelia and  Eleanor Go for a Ride</em>. (Ages 7 to 11) <em>--Emilie Coulter</em></p>]]></description>

    <![CDATA[Alonzo King dreams of being known as The Boy of a Thousand Faces after  his hero, Lon Chaney, late star of horror films. Alone in his room he transforms  his face with makeup and tape, and then takes pictures with a Polaroid. In a  town of nonbelievers, Alonzo is an expert on monsters, vampires, and assorted  ghouls. One year, as Halloween approaches (as does Alonzo's 10th birthday),  rumors of a mysterious beast start circulating, and suddenly Alonzo's grisly  expertise is in great demand. But who--or what--is this horrible beast that  crushes gladiolas in the night and leaves claw prints on cars? And will Alonzo's  wish for fame and understanding from his friends and neighbors ever come  true?<p>  Brian Selznick's black-and-white pencil drawings set a spooky stage for this  story of intrigue and imagination. Although the plot is convoluted and faintly  perplexing, the overall effect is pleasingly sinister. Close-ups of Mr. Blake,  Alonzo's seemingly mild-mannered neighbor and cohort in all things macabre,  inspire speculation about skeletons he may be harboring in his own closet.  Readers will want to run right out and read <em>The Lost City of Atlantis</em>, or  rent the old classic versions of <em>Frankenstein</em>, <em>The Phantom of the  Opera</em>, and <em>Dracula</em>. Perfect Halloween fare from the illustrator of  Andrew Clements's <em>Frindle</em>  and Pam Munoz Ryan's <em>Amelia and  Eleanor Go for a Ride</em>. (Ages 7 to 11) <em>--Emilie Coulter</em></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[Alonzo King dreams of being known as The Boy of a Thousand Faces after  his hero, Lon Chaney, late star of horror films. Alone in his room he transforms  his face with makeup and tape, and then takes pictures with a Polaroid. In a  town of nonbelievers, Alonzo is an expert on monsters, vampires, and assorted  ghouls. One year, as Halloween approaches (as does Alonzo's 10th birthday),  rumors of a mysterious beast start circulating, and suddenly Alonzo's grisly  expertise is in great demand. But who--or what--is this horrible beast that  crushes gladiolas in the night and leaves claw prints on cars? And will Alonzo's  wish for fame and understanding from his friends and neighbors ever come  true?<p>  Brian Selznick's black-and-white pencil drawings set a spooky stage for this  story of intrigue and imagination. Although the plot is convoluted and faintly  perplexing, the overall effect is pleasingly sinister. Close-ups of Mr. Blake,  Alonzo's seemingly mild-mannered neighbor and cohort in all things macabre,  inspire speculation about skeletons he may be harboring in his own closet.  Readers will want to run right out and read <em>The Lost City of Atlantis</em>, or  rent the old classic versions of <em>Frankenstein</em>, <em>The Phantom of the  Opera</em>, and <em>Dracula</em>. Perfect Halloween fare from the illustrator of  Andrew Clements's <em>Frindle</em>  and Pam Munoz Ryan's <em>Amelia and  Eleanor Go for a Ride</em>. (Ages 7 to 11) <em>--Emilie Coulter</em></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[Alonzo King dreams of being known as The Boy of a Thousand Faces after  his hero, Lon Chaney, late star of horror films. Alone in his room he transforms  his face with makeup and tape, and then takes pictures with a Polaroid. In a  town of nonbelievers, Alonzo is an expert on monsters, vampires, and assorted  ghouls. One year, as Halloween approaches (as does Alonzo's 10th birthday),  rumors of a mysterious beast start circulating, and suddenly Alonzo's grisly  expertise is in great demand. But who--or what--is this horrible beast that  crushes gladiolas in the night and leaves claw prints on cars? And will Alonzo's  wish for fame and understanding from his friends and neighbors ever come  true?<p>  Brian Selznick's black-and-white pencil drawings set a spooky stage for this  story of intrigue and imagination. Although the plot is convoluted and faintly  perplexing, the overall effect is pleasingly sinister. Close-ups of Mr. Blake,  Alonzo's seemingly mild-mannered neighbor and cohort in all things macabre,  inspire speculation about skeletons he may be harboring in his own closet.  Readers will want to run right out and read <em>The Lost City of Atlantis</em>, or  rent the old classic versions of <em>Frankenstein</em>, <em>The Phantom of the  Opera</em>, and <em>Dracula</em>. Perfect Halloween fare from the illustrator of  Andrew Clements's <em>Frindle</em>  and Pam Munoz Ryan's <em>Amelia and  Eleanor Go for a Ride</em>. (Ages 7 to 11) <em>--Emilie Coulter</em></p>]]>
