If you like Monster High films, do not be surprised if you like this one. So far so predictable.
If you like YA type novels, then a look to the set of four YA novels by Lisi Harrison should appeal a lot. These also cover Frankie starting school, at Merston High, and the storyline and settings through the four novels is very different to the films.
So, there are also some Monster High stories, so far not about Frankie starting school, that do follow the film storylines but they are more for younger readers, definitely not YA.
Personally I prefer the four YA novels to this film, but that is not unusual and the film is still okay. Good fashion too.
