excerpt:
Marcel is committed to his work as a monster. Every single night he hides under beds and in closets, hoping to scare a child as required in his job description. However, even though he meets all the criteria to be a monster, and he has the skills down pat, he just isn�t scary. Much to his chagrin, the children he meets find him loveable. The only thing that helps him wind down after a disappointing night of failing to frighten is getting into his kitchen to cook. Using disgusting ingredients only fit for a monster, Marcel bakes and boils dishes for the next night�s shift. In a turn of fate, he accidentally leaves his lunch pail on the counter in a child�s house one night, and he stumbles upon a way that he can scare girls and boys all over town.
