The Monster in the Third Dresser Drawer is an amazing book written by Janice Lee Smith. It all started out when a boy named Adam Joshua and his parents start to move to another house. Adam Joshua gets mad because he liked his house that he has now. Like in the middle in the book Adam Joshua’s mother had a baby girl named Amanda Jane, and Adam Joshua has to share his room with her baby sister.  Adam Joshua has to share his room because Adam Joshua’s parents are painting Amanda’s room and fixing it up.  One night Adam Joshua was sleeping and he saw a monster come out of his third dresser drawer.
