Joey, left at home alone one night, sees and hears strange things, but he has the superior wit to convince any and all possible monsters that his brother, Dan, is the better choice for dinner.

SCHOLASTIC READING COUNTS! SELECTION
INTERNATIONAL READING ASSOCIATION/CHILDREN'S BOOK COUNCIL CHILDREN'S CHOICES SELECTION
Everyone knows that monsters, especially those with a taste for pan-fried boys, are waiting to catch the smart ones when they are home alone.
Joseph Demorett II is known to family and friends-but hopefully not monsters-as Joey, a gifted and talented third-grader. More important, he has an older brother who is bigger, eats his vegetables, and is surely tastier.
When Joey is left at home alone while his parents visit the neighbors for coffee, he senses the presence of something smacking its slithery lips in the closet. He hears a great stomach growling behind the basement door. He sees a giant shadow lurking outside on the back porch. All of these things can only mean that there is a monster waiting to catch and eat an innocent boy. Or do they?
