Matt Myers.
When obedient Ian's older, obnoxious sister breaks the "rules of the house" posted at their spooky vacation place, she awakens some monsters intent on eating her. Ian's moral crisis--why save someone who broke the rules?--resolves with his toothbrush-abetted plan to turn the tables on the monsters. The elaborately clever tale's macabre mood is enhanced by textured, shadow-drenched art.
