I really like Godzilla and Kaiju in general. I think the whole concept of giant monsters hidden away on Earth only to (mostly) wake up and fight. Each other is tremendous. I knew going in that Godzilla: Monster Island Summer Camp was geared to a younger audience, but I still had a great time with it.

A group of kids visit a summer camp, all of them thinking it’s a different Camp than when it actually is. None of them are right. Make It Summer Camp is under new management, and why is everything about competition and sports now?

Zelda is determined to stay safe and enjoy her summer camp, so she sneaks off to find a safe place to do just that. Then, she stumbles upon Monster Island where she meets a baby Kaiju named Minilla.

The story for this book from Rosie Knight was so much fun, and I really felt that the art work from Oliver Ono fit the story being told. I always love when the story and the art fit together. The entire book feels more cohesive and makes for a better story.

When Minilla sneaked into camo with the hat, sunglasses, and jacket, I legit laughed out loud. That was so funny.

I thought this book was really fun! This is the kind of book that could be turned into an entire series for kids that are interested in the world of Godzilla but either don’t like or aren’t old enough to watch the movies yet.

Thank you Netgalley and IDW Publishing for sending this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.
