In this final book in the Monster of the Month Quartet, thirteen-year-old Rilla Earth continues to receive in the mail toy monsters that mysteriously come alive. This time around, Rilla struggles to keep the noisy monsters in her bedroom quiet during her aunt's wedding downstairs. The tension fizzles a bit in the end as the monsters all return to their inanimate states without discovery. The pen-and-ink illustrations add humor to the story.
