Ava the Monster Slayer

Why leave all the fighting and world-saving to the guys? Following in the footsteps of Buffy Summers from Buffy and the Vampire Slayer and Black Widow from The Avengers, Ava the Monster Slayer teachers both girls and boys that they can be strong, brave and find their courage when needed.

Ava, based on Lisa Maggiore’s own daughter, must rescue her beloved Piggy left in the dryer in the basement.  She knows there are ferocious monsters lurking in the dark.  So she dons her brother’s superhero cape and sword, puts on pink rain boots and a sparkly princess crown.  The monsters are scary and smell terrible but Ava is determined to rescue Piggy.

Ava the Monster Slayer is sure to appeal to young readers who will relate to Ava’s mission and delight in her victory over the monsters. Ross Felten’s brisk, comic book-like illustrations bring energy and humor to this story of courage and loyalty.
