BIO:
Silvia Acevedo writes stories for kids and adults who want magic and mystery in their world.
She stirred up monster hijinks in her latest title, MAIL-ORDER MONSTERS: CRASH COURSE. And she called up a Wisconsin ghost in the spooky anthology, THE HAUNTED STATES OF AMERICA. Before that, she barely escaped the gods’ wrath in her mythological GOD AWFUL series.
Silvia’s worked in New York publishing, led the Wisconsin chapter of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators, and served on the board of directors for the Wisconsin Writers Association.
SYNOPSIS:
A 10-year-old boy desperate for a new best friend orders monsters from an ad at the back of an old comic book.
Marco Torres needs a new bestie. His best friend isn’t talking to him, and he’s suddenly got a bully—the twin of his crush. So when Marco spots an ad in the back of a comic book for mail-order monsters, he’s in. Unleashing their magic unleashes trouble. And when his ex-bestie challenges him to settle their score, it’s Marco’s monsters against his robot in a remote control truck race through the neighborhood junk yard. But Marco soon wonders what exactly he’s fighting for.
