Hideous Creatures: A Chapter-Book Your Parents Will Hate
Carlos never meant to become the town's most notorious "hideous creature expert."
While the mayor and a very rich, very suspicious businessman plot to have the local forest destroyed, Carlos, his reluctant friend Marigold, and a growing band of curious kids set out to protect it. Along the way, they meet a bizarre menagerie, tentacled Thrumplewunks, ribbon-like "Heart-in-a-jar" critters, and more, that defy every assumption adults have about what's dangerous and what's not.
As the town unravels in arguments. Carlos learns that bravery isn't about having control, it's about listening, paying attention, and standing up for what's right, even when the people in charge want you silenced.
Funny, strange, and unexpectedly heartfelt, Hideous Creatures is a chapter-book adventure about friendship, standing up to power, and discovering that hideous doesn't mean bad, sometimes, it means beautiful.
