Reviews
"A fast-paced, action-packed adventure with an interesting premise" --Booklist on The Monster Catchers
"The monsters are appealing, the parallels between monster and human history are discussable, and the end is wildly unsubtle but still gratifying, allowing Bailey to look forward to a more tolerant and altruistic exploration of the world of monsters." --The Bulletin on The Monster Catchers
