    About this ebook

    “Monstrous fun!”—Booklist

    Three kids. A hotel full of monsters. And a stolen magical artifact that could disrupt the balance between the humans and the supernatural. Welcome to life at Hotel Monster! Escape from Mr. Lemoncello’s Library meets Hotel Transylvania in the first book of this hilarious and spooky new series that blends mystery with monsters.

    Stephen’s dad has moved their two-person family across the country to New York City, where he is taking over as head chef in an exclusive hotel. A hotel that has the most elite of clientele: monsters (though they prefer to be called supernormals). Surprise! And an even bigger surprise? Stephen is part supernormal himself.

    When a magical family heirloom is stolen and Stephen is framed, he must work with two new friends to navigate this whole new world and clear his name. After all, consequences can be dire in the world of monsters.

    Spooky, funny, and full of monstrous hijinks, The Lost Legacy is an inventive and accessible mystery-adventure full of friendship and humor—perfect for fans of Pseudonymous Bosch and R. L. Stine’s Goosebumps series.

      The Supernormal Sleuthing Service is a fantastic middle grade novel full of adventure and humor. The book opens with Stephen and his dad attending a funeral in NYC. The first chapter is a blur for both Stephen and the reader as he is whisked away to a mysterious hotel. Once his dad explains his new world, and he meets some local kids, he begins to explore the fantastical spaces in the hotel. Except something steals his Dad's priceless book. They must get it back. Vampires, Ghouls, Bigfoot (or is it Bigfeet), Fairies, Mermaids, and loads of other monsters come together for the 1000th birthday of Cindermass the Dragon. Will they find the book? Will their lives change forever? For anyone who liked Harry Potter, this book is for you! With all the gateways, the possibility of exploring new places is endless. I hope Stephen and his friends have more sleuthing to do in the future.
