Each year, on Halloween eve, Fright Club meets to go over their plan: Operation Kiddie Scare. Only the scariest of monsters can join Fright Club—Vladimir the Vampire, Fran K. Stein, Sandy Witch, and Virginia Wolf have all made the cut. They've been practicing their ghoulish faces, their scary moves, and their chilling sounds. But when a band of cute little critters comes along asking to join in the fun, the members of Fright Club will find out who really is the scariest of all!
This clever, rollicking read aloud text and delightfully spooky illustrations will have young readers laughing, cheering, and begging to be the newest members of Fright Club.

Starred review from July 27, 2015
After a witch, vampire, ghost, and other creatures convene for a tree house meeting of Fright Club, it soon becomes clear that the club’s first rule is that cute creatures need not apply: “Fright Club is for monsters only!” says vampire Vladimir as he shoos away a fluffy white rabbit. However, the club’s monsters aren’t very good at “ghoulish faces” and “scary moves,” and the bunny—along with a squirrel, turtle, and other traditionally unscary creatures—could actually show them a thing or two. Long’s dark, ghostly palette sets an appropriately eerie mood, and he has a lot of fun with the cuddly animals’ reign of terror (a butterfly wields chains, Jacob Marley style, as it chases a ghost). Don’t worry about what goes bump in the night, Long seems to suggest—daylight can be plenty scary, too. Ages 4–8. Agent: Paul Rodeen, Rodeen Literary Management. -

The first rule of Fright Club: don't talk about Fright Club. The next rule? Only the truly scary can be members. Discrimination! cries a bunny, who wastes no time seeking representation, then organizing a demonstration. HISS, MOAN, BOO! WE CAN SCARE TOO! chant a butterfly, ladybug, turtle, and squirrel. And scare they do, disrupting the Fright Club meeting and proving their fearsome bona fides just in time for Operation Kiddie Scare. It's a funny Halloween concept that delivers, through Long's spry textGhost: What are we going to do?!? Vampire Vladimir: NOTHING! If you ignore cute little critters, they eventually go away! and cartoony digitally colored (but very sparely, it's mostly all shadowy grays) graphite-pencil illustrations. elissa gershowitz(Copyright 2015 by The Horn Book, Incorporated, Boston.
