Summary from Amazon UK (I don't receive anything from mentioning them)
In this fourth episode in the very entertaining series for kids of all
ages, Billy and Monster get to meet a new neighbor who has a secret.
Billy and Monster live on a beautiful street with some very interesting
neighbors like Mr Forgetful, Miss Squeaky and Mr GrumpDaddy whose been
banned from the local butchers. Why? Because he always gives them grief
when he goes to get some beef. On a Saturday morning while playing
racing cars with Monster, they hear a knock at the door. Billy's Dad
opens the door and they're introduced to their new neighbors - The
FeelGoods. After an incident involving screams and flowing streams of
tears, Billy goes to Sally FeelGoods house to make peace. And then he
discovers that Sally has a COLORFUL secret that leaves Billy's mouth
open as wide as the Grand Canyon.
Nayulseka's thoughts
Although I wasn't sure
what Monster is (an alien?) and I felt the end came a few pages to soon, I was
engrossed in the story from cover to cover. The style of illustrations matched
the story perfectly - my favourite was when Sally's secret is revealed because
Billy is so surprised and Sally looks as if she finds Billy's reaction amusing.
This may be book 4 in a series but it can be read as a standalone book.
