Back in a week.\" Ethan knows that without Gabe's familiar nightly scares he doesn't stand a chance of getting to sleep, so Ethan interviews potential substitutes to see if they've got the right equipment for the job—pointy teeth, sharp claws, and a long tail—but none of them proves scary enough for Ethan. When Gabe returns sooner than expected from his fishing trip, Ethan is thrilled. It turns out that Gabe didn't enjoy fishing because the fish scared too easily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eScholastic Book Club Selection\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWinner of 6 state awards:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlabama Camellia Award (2010-2011)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eArizona Grand Canyon Reader Award (2011)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCalifornia Young Readers Medal (2011-12)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGeorgia Picture Storybook Award (2011-12)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNevada Young Reader Award (2011-12)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVirginia Reader's Choice Primary Award (2012-13)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIncluded on 5 other state award lists:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMississippi Magnolia Children's Choice Award list (2012-13)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNebraska Golden Sower Award list (2011-12)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSouth Dakota Prairie Bud Award list (2011-12)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWashington Children's Choice Book Award list (2010-2011)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWyoming Buckaroo Award list (2011-12)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAdditionally, these regional awards lists:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConnecticut Charter Oak Children's Book Award list (2011-12)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIowa Regional Goldfinch Award Winner (2009-10)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eStorytelling World Award Honor Book 2010\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47486133076204,"sku":"9780979974625","price":34.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/fc771139fc0288d81cab743563c265a1.jpg?v=1775780496","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/i-need-my-monster-by-amanda-noll-9780979974625","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
