(4) 4-6 Translated by Annira Silver. Illustrated by Pasi Pitkänen. A Finnish mother leaves her kids with a monster nanny during a spa retreat she's mysteriously won. As the resourceful and likable Hellman siblings investigate why all the neighborhood kids have likewise been left with monsters, they also learn to be open-minded to those who are different. Some of the fantasy details don't add up, but the mystery surrounding the monsters is well built.
