Favorite for years.

Loved the series since I was a kid. Started out with loch and have been reading them every time I could get my hands on them. Very easy to reread.

This is my favorite childhood book.

As a child and young adult I absolutely hated reading, this was the first book I picked up and couldn't stop reading. I subsequently bought every single Paul in the monster book and read them.
