A man living in a tree house reading books about mythical creatures wonders why he hasn’t yet met such creatures in Daniel Anctil’s kidlit title, Monster Friends, Where Are You? (Midtown $21.95). He thinks they must be hiding, so he goes on a journey to find and befriend them. Will he find these creatures, and can he make friends with monsters he’s seen only in books? Publicity for the book describes it as a “whimsical story about looking for friends and excitement.” Illustrations by Corentin Hunter. Daniel Anctil of Vancouver holds a Bachelor of Arts in religion and psychology from the University of Victoria. 9781988242569
