From the first day of his life, Mungus Bigfoot has been the perfect monster: scary, smelly, food-flinging and rude. At school Mungus is the natural choice to help Emily Twinkletoes, the worst young monster around. She's failing miserably at being horrible and can't scare anyone. It's up to Mungus to make sure she learns how to behave like a proper monster - but she teaches him a lesson instead!
