The reason I decided to go with this book was decided by many factors. I like monster and horror types of books and while scrolling through the list I came across exactly that. My mom also told me that the reviews for the book were outstanding and that it would be perfect for me, in which case, I decided it was the book I wanted to read for my summer homework. In fact I'm on the third book in the series right now and it has been one of my favorite series I've ever read.
I would recommend this book to you if you like books that add up the suspense, leave you questioning everything that will happen next, makes you want to keep reading to you finished the book and, an interest in monsters or creatures which may seem obscene but are pretty cool. If you like some of these books I'm going to list I believe the book would be right for you: Percy Jackson, Michael Vey, Riptide, Harry Potter, Rangers Apprentice, The adventures of Nicholas Flamel, and Legend.
This book is extremely good and I would recommend it to you even if you hate all those listed books.

Summer Homework Entry 3, The Monstromologist
"And now she, the matriarch, the mother of the Anthropophagi, with her one remaining eye spied me standing beside her precious progeny, whom her instincts demanded she defend, as the doctor said, to her last breath with ruthless ferocity. Her own pain did not matter. What animated her was as old as life itself, the same irresistible force that the doctor had marveled at in the pastor's parlor : How strong is the maternal instinct, Will Henry!
That overriding compulsion now drove her toward the spot where I cowered, frozen in fear' s icy grip, wavering in insensitive agony, for even in her injured state she moved with frightening speed and would catch me should I make a run for the passageway - which may or may not still have been open."
I believe this part of the book would "hook" in the readers because it has suspense and leads the reader to question what Will Henry will do to survive the mother of the Anthropophagi. But that may also not be the case because unknowing what's going to happen, for all they may think, she could not attack him at all. That's why I believe this is a good passage to hook in the readers.
