Frightening encounters lead to Frank’s discovery that he is the shapeshifter. But he can’t understand why everyone is afraid. Even in his monster form, Frank is still a boy inside—just one who feels a strong urge to have his tummy scratched.
Forced to own his new identity, Frank learns about the town’s secret underbelly. Beneath the library live other monsters, hiding from the humans. Perhaps he has found a place to belong.
Frank the Monster is a gripping adventure about trying to belong, with a big warm heart.
