My son and I really enjoyed this one. It’s well written and entertaining. It’s similar to A Series of Unfortunate Events in that a child is (presumedly) orphaned and is taken in by his horrid great aunt. That’s where the similarities end though. The boy has a disability (no knees) but doesn’t let that stop him, and he gets help from a monster in the closet. The main message (which is basically spelled out for us) is “With positivity and perseverance you can achieve anything.” And he does find ingenious ways to overcome obstacles. And he has help from an adorable monster.
