Summary

For the first time, Rob Burnside knows when his closet is about to open--but he's not prepared for what emerges. A mash-up of Ebenezer Scrooge and Lego Batman, this new visitor's unusual antics are only one of Rob's problems. While enduring visits by the ghosts of books past, present, and future, Rob learns some shocking news: A battle is brewing, and his school needs a hero. What he gets is so much more (Spoiler alert: All the creatures from past books come visit!)

Obert Skye doesn't let his fans down in the hilarious final installment in the Creature from My Closet series.

Horn Book Review

In the sixth installment, average-guy Rob's wacky-creature-spewing closet sends him a mixture of Ebenezer Scrooge and LEGO Batman; Batneezer helps Rob rediscover his love of books and save the school library. The plot is meandering and the subplots weak, but the series' wacky humor and (familiar) Jeff Kinneyesque cartoons should keep readers going. (c) Copyright 2017.
