12/12/2017 Okay, so I haven't technically read the whole thing because I haven't written the whole thing, but seeing this on my author shelf made me giggle so I had to chime in. Really excited for this one, y'all. Haven't loved a heroine this hard since...well, probably ever.

The Monster Hypothesis is a story with something to appeal both to kids and the parents who read to them: monsters, swamps, STEM, curses, a fake psychic, a pet alligator, glowing slime and explosions. The engaging plot moves fast, and the heroine is a likable, well developed, real kid. One who can’t leave a mystery unsolved, and who understands what it means to be the new, smart kid who just doesn’t fit in. Every kid will relate to Kick’s longing to be part of a group and every parent will

This was such a fun ride! THE MONSTER HYPOTHESIS follows our heroine, Kick, as she tries to prove a monstrous curse is nothing but a hoax - whilst avoiding becoming a target at her new school.
Without a doubt, the strongest part of this book was the VOICE. It's hilarious and whip-smart, never 'dumbing down' for a middle grade audience. Kick has just the right amount of rule-breaking slyness, combined with the more familiar yearnings of fitting in. I adored her. I also adored her relationship to ...more

Received an ARC for review.
This was a fun little mystery/suspense read. I loved the scientific aspect to this story. I felt like I was back in a chemistry class -- it was awesome. The writing was good, the characters were all unique, the pacing was great.

The Monster Hypothesis is a middle grade mystery by author Romily Bernard. I really enjoyed this book. I don't read many middle grade stories anymore, and the ones that I do I am very picky with. This one pleasantly pleased me. It was fun, interactive and engaging. I think this would be an excellent book for younger readers to pick up as they move into the middle grade age group, and I think the story is well done enough that it will capture and hold the attention of older readers as well.
