England, 1882. In Victorian London, two children with mysterious powers are hunted by a figure of darkness —a man made of smoke.Sixteen-year-old Charlie Ovid, despite a lifetime of brutality, doesn't have a scar on him. His body heals itself, whether he wants it to or not. Marlowe, a foundling from a railway freight car, shines with a strange bluish light. He can melt or mend flesh. When two grizzled detectives are recruited to escort them north to safety, they are forced to confront the nature of difference, and belonging, and the shadowy edges of the monstrous.
What follows is a journey from the gaslit streets of London, to an eerie estate outside Edinburgh, where other children with gifts—the Talents—have been gathered. Here, the world of the dead and the world of the living threaten to collide. And as secrets within the Institute unfurl, Marlowe, Charlie and the rest of the Talents will discover the truth about their abilities, and the nature of the force that is stalking them: that the worst monsters sometimes come bearing the sweetest gifts.
With lush prose, mesmerizing world-building, and a gripping plot, Ordinary Monsters presents a catastrophic vision of the Victorian world—and of the gifted, broken children who must save it.

Excellent for Elementary Aged Kids!
We bought a second after seeing how great this travel guide is so both of our elementary age kids could have their own. I will buy this brand of travel guide anytime we go anywhere they offer one. It is informative but also has lots of different activities. I highly recommend this.

Format: Kindle
This book is great for kids that already know how to read and it’s actually teaching them how to use a travel guide too. I like that kids can get away from their electronical devices. Could be great for homeschooling resource even if you don’t plan to visit. I downloaded 3 guides until now: Los Angeles, San Diego and Washington, DC (the latest). My kids enjoyed each and every one of them. I plan to purchase the physical books also

Very interesting and informative travel guide for kids!
Format: Kindle
I do not have a kid myself but got a chance to travel with my niece to Washington DC recently. I was worried about how I could keep her interest and excitement during the trip, (as you know it is not always easy to travel with the kid when you are not experienced) and I am lucky enough to have found this book. This book is like a normal travel guide but it is specially designed for kids, with a lot of fun games, interesting information, and colorful layout. It asks you to fill in information such as when did you go, where did you do, etc, which I think it can serve as a memory book for my niece and remind her the trip when she grows up. I will definitely purchase more travel guide from the same series!
