Fred and Anthony Escape from the Netherworld is hilarious chapter book by Elise Primavera. It is a graphic novel/fiction hybrid, meaning parts of it are in a comic strip form and other parts are just written as a story. I love this book especially because it attracts many boys to read, that may otherwise avoid reading. The story introduces readers to ten year olds Fred and Anthony. They are horror movie fanatics, and they always make it a point to pay someone else to do their homework. Now they have a big history project due, but no money to pay anyone to do it. They decide to venture out looking for old people to do "stuff" for to make some dough. While wandering around the out skirts of town they come upon a creepy house. Once in the house, that has oozing walls, ghosts, and a mummy, they accidentally fall into the netherworld where they meet a crazy dentist and his assistant. The guide to the netherworld book they found makes them realize that the crazy doc is doctor Frankenstein, and his assistant Igor. The doctor wants the boys' brains so he can bring his monster to life. But his bigger plans are to get many boy brains to create many monsters that will take over the world! Read Fred and Anthony Escape the Netherworld to find out if the boys escaped or if they're hanging around with no brains in the Netherworld.
