12-year-old Sadie Hahn didn’t plan to eat grubs on camera to win a contest.

But she’ll do anything to cheer up her little brother Silas, who’s too young to qualify. Rad has millions of followers and exactly zero real-life friends, so the contest is a great chance for him to hang out with kids his own age. But it’s hate-at-first-sight when Silas throws a wrench in his plan.

Sprout isn't what you would call a typical middle schooler (though who is typical in middle school?). But Sprout is unusual not because she rarely leaves the house (though she doesn't), nor because she is abnormally tall (though she is), nor even because her name is Sprout and her mother works as a florist (actually that one is less unusual and more entirely her mom's fault). Instead, Sprout is unique because of the tree-like antlers that bloom from her head, her plantlers if you will.

It’s a monster’s ancient duty to inflict unimaginable horrors on misbehaving kids. But when a young cucuy who’s anxious to prove himself is sent to the human world to terrorize his first child, the naughty niño isn’t scared by glowing eyes, sharp talons, or even disgusting breath. Instead, he’s preoccupied with worries about his first day at a new school. Can the little cucuy prove himself as a fierce boogeyman? As he soon learns from his human, maybe some things are scarier than creatures under the bed . . . and maybe even a monster could use a friend.
