Illustrated by
Bethanie Deeney Murguia.
In this entertaining story, bossy Violet convinces her twin brother, Victor, to help her write a book. Using alliterative language, and bickering as they go, they take turns inventing a tale about Violet's search for a "monster" that's eating books in the school library. An endnote explains how Murguia collected books and library paraphernalia to create her imaginative, eye-catching illustrations.
