When anxious Milo rings the doorbell of Shock City castle on a dare, he’s startled when monster kid Sunny flings the door open and labels herself Milo’s new BFF. But when Sunny learns Milo’s family is about to leave the crumbling town for good, she drags him out on a late night adventure to spruce up Shock City and convince everyone to stay. If only it were that easy.
Sunny quickly learns that her grandfather, Great Darkness Von Shock, was not the revered benefactor she believed him to be, but actually the cause of all the hideous mad science damage in town. Can Sunny fix Shock City and her family’s reputation before she loses her first real friend forever?
