Monster High/Ever After High series.
In this fairy-tale/monster mash-up, Ever After High's Apple, Raven, and Maddie team up with Monster High's Draculaura and Frankie Stein and narrator Brooke. Their mission: protect the World of Stories by stopping the Evil Queen from unlocking the power inside Shadow High. The climax includes a clunky Choose-Your-Own-Adventure element, but fans of both series will nevertheless gobble up this light and pun-filled read.

Monster High series.
The supernatural gang at Merston High has some new challenges, such as vampire Lala's attempts to win a sponsorship contest for the school. There's the usual, often grating, cutesy wordplay and of-the-moment celebrity references (e.g., Frankie's "approval rating was in the Obama-got-Osama range"), but this fourth series entry wraps up the school year in a satisfying, and apparently series-ending, conclusion.
