When Charlie thinks he spots his missing cousin Billy and gives chase, Charlie instead finds a passage to Monsterland. There, the Prime Minister (a vampire) lures Charlie into a dangerous mission with the promise that he might see Billy again. Charlie's struggles with guilt and grief and his journey to learn to live through those feelings are the heart of this thrilling monster-filled adventure.

After Lionel and his sister Beatrice escape from a 1900s missionary-run school, their grandfather reintroduces them to their Blackfeet customs; they are ultimately forced to return to the school. Though some of the secondary characters seem two-dimensional, the story's protagonists and story line are compelling. Bib., glos.
