Illustrated by
Mary Sullivan.
Monstrous-looking creatures, and a few humans, demonstrate guidelines explained by the text on topics broadly related to grammar, including punctuation, spelling, and witch--make that
which--homophone to use. Funny-scary examples abound: where would "Vanessa Vampire loves cooking, her parents, and her baby sister" be without its commas? Useful information might just creep up on readers enjoying the cartoonish, often paneled illustrations, whose pastel palette removes the scariness from ghouls, ghosts, and zombies--as the guide should do for these rules of writing. If you're going to write about a "ghoul chasing werewolf" or a "ghoul-chasing werewolf," do so with confidence!
