Sixteen-year-old Regina wishes her band, the Caverns, was as famous as the Beatles. And with the help of a computer-literate fairy godmother, the Caverns actually take the place of the Beatles. Regina loves the limelight but ultimately decides to create her own fame. Leaky fantasy elements notwithstanding, this story of wish fulfillment will appeal to teens who love the celebrity pop scene.

Fourteen-year-old Toby and his monster-hunting pals spend their second Killer Pizza adventure battling the part-human, part-lizard dekayi. When one of the creatures joins the Monster Protection Program, the others will do anything to bring her back into the fold. Although readers see less of Toby's love of food and underdog spirit in this installment, the adventure's hair-raising pace will snare reluctant readers.

Fourteen-year-old Toby isn't looking forward to another boring summer in Hidden Hills. He gets more than he bargained for, though, after landing a pizza-joint job and being recruited into the secret monster-hunting organization behind Killer Pizza. Though the characters are underdeveloped, their attempts to save Hidden Hills from vicious shape-shifting guttata monsters are humorously portrayed.
