Overview
Jeff Miracola: Artist of the Year: GenCon 2011 annual convention.
“Jeff’s work has fascinated me since we first met while working on games like Dungeons & Dragons. His art and imagination were cutting-edge then, and what he brings to the children’s book world is cutting-edge now.”—Tony DiTerlizzi, co-creator of The Spiderwick Chronicles
Welcome to Monster Isle is a children's book I would have loved to read to my own kids...The kids will love these monsters, and adults reading this book to those kids will appreciate the homages, the lively plot, and the fun art...It'd be a terrific gift for any creature-loving kids in your life."—Tony Isabella, Comics Buyer's Guide
A family’s vacation goes awry when a perfect storm tosses their skipper’s tiny boat off course. Now seven castaways are stranded on an uncharted desert island! Finnegan, his sister, parents, and dog Howl go into the wild and encounter a menagerie of monsters. Can these survivors befriend beasts straight from their wildest imaginations?
Fans of Monsterology, Dragonology, Bakugan, and Pokemon will take a trip they’ll never forget, since being lost was never so fantastic!
"It's a charming introduction to crytozoology for very young children, with the polysyllabic words they seem to enjoy, and gorgeously illustrated. And it has positive messages aplenty: man and manimal can live in harmony; you create your own fears; and working cooperatively is rewarding. If, as an adult, you have to read the same story every single night till your sanity gives way, this will be more pleasant than 99% of the competition."—Fortean Times
"It's never too soon to introduce children to cryptozoology, and that's why new kids' book Monster Isle is the perfect teaching tool...[Miracola's] big, stylized monsters are the perfect combination of fanged and funny." - io9.com
"Here is a book that is geared towards kids, but embraces the adventurer in all of us. If you are as huge a fan of the SciFi Channel’s DESTINATION TRUTH as I am, you’ll definitely want to check out this book of monsters creatively illustrated by Jeff Miracola...one that will most likely please those youngsters who are just forming an interest in comics. Perfect bed time story reading material." - Ain’t It Cool News
