Nothing seemed to help. One night, BJ woke up from a dream and immediately starting jotting down ideas that would eventually be the first draft of this book. Within days of reading this "draft" to his son, the nightmares stopped and instead that little boy giggled and begged to hear more and more about these AMAZING monster's and all of their adventures.

From readers: Written to help alleviate his young son's nightmares, BJ Prior's Monsters Aren't Scary, is a cute story that introduces us to the real monsters behind the traditionally scary legends. From witches to Dracula to Frankenstein's Monster, these scary monsters become relatable, approachable, funny and, as the title says, NOT SCARY! The graphic novel quality illustrations give the story strength as Prior's rhyming prose introduces us to each monster, first as the scary myth, then as the funny, quirky, 'just like us' character. By the end of this book my children and I were fans of both monsters and Prior - looking forward to his next book.Laura Rossmurphy, MA, LPCI first met BJ Prior the author of "Monsters Aren't Scary" when his daughter joined my Girl Scout troop. I first read and saw the book at their lovely home. I absolutely adored the book as did my 7 year old daughter. The context of the book was fun for the whole family. Not only did it shine a fun twist on the scary feelings of going to bed and the unknown but also teaches the kids a valuable lesson about being inclusive. Bj was so gracious about doing a live author meet and great with the kids. Every single Girl Scout loved his book and the author. He was so passionate about the inspiration behind his book his son and the message it carries to our children. I highly recommend this book to kids of all ages. It's a must read and must have in your home. Makes a wonderful gift for loved ones as well. Jocelyn Van Haren

A happy Halloween outing." —Booklist "With rich language and a delightfully dark nighttime palette, this pleasing rhyme begs to be acted out or performed with puppets.

Book excerpt: Finalist for the 2022 Kirkus Prize for Fiction Shortlisted for the 2022 Miles Franklin Literary Award Shortlisted for the 2023 Rathbones Folio Prize Longlisted for the 2022 Gordon Burn Prize (UK) A profoundly original exploration of racism, misogyny, and ageism—three monsters that plague the world—this novel from a beloved and prize-winning author is made up of two narratives, each told by a South Asian migrant to Australia “When my family emigrated it felt as if we’d been stood on our heads.” Michelle de Kretser’s electrifying take on scary monsters turns the novel upside down, just as migration has upended her characters’ lives. Lili’s family migrated to Australia from Asia when she was a teenager. Now, in the 1980s, she’s teaching in the south of France. She makes friends, observes the treatment handed out to North African immigrants, and is creeped out by her downstairs neighbor. All the while, Lili is striving to be A Bold, Intelligent Woman like Simone de Beauvoir. Lyle works for a sinister government department in near-future Australia. An Asian migrant, he fears repatriation and embraces “Australian values.” He’s also preoccupied by his ambitious wife, his wayward children, and his strong-minded elderly mother. Islam has been banned in the country, the air is smoky from a Permanent Fire Zone, and one pandemic has already run its course. Three scary monsters—racism, misogyny, and ageism—roam through this mesmerizing novel. Its reversible format enacts the disorientation that migrants experience when changing countries changes the stories of their lives. With this suspenseful, funny, and profound book, Michelle de Kretser has made something thrilling and new. “Which comes first, the future or the past?”
