Contemporary American horror literature for children and young adults has two bold messages for readers: adults are untrustworthy, unreliable and often dangerous; and the monster always wins (as it must if there is to be a sequel). Examining the young adult horror series and the religious horror series for children (Left Behind: The Kids) for the first time, and tracing the unstoppable monster to Seuss's Cat in the Hat, this book sheds new light on the problematic message produced by the combination of marketing and books for contemporary American young readers.

The Princess of the kingdom of Arturus has been kidnapped and taken into space by an evil inventor named Mordred. Our young heroes, Simon and Alice, must learn to build their own spacecraft and travel to the stars on the intergalactic quest to rescue Princess and save the kingdom.

A cruel pirate named Captain Crawfish has been raiding the small port of Fort Ridley. Our hero must embark on a journey to find a powerful ship and skilled crew to help him defeat Captain Crawfish and recover a map that will lead the islanders of Fort Ridley back to their treasure.

This illustrated novel is based on of Poptropica’s most recent islands, Lunar Colony.
