Frank knows the monsters have good heartsβlike his own monster insideβbut their community is in terrible danger. A showdown between monsters and humans is inescapable. And Frank must decide what to say and what to keep inside. The Monster and the Library is a thrilling adventure about right and wrongβand about having a secret and finding the courage to tell it.
