Monstrously Clever (Happy Tails)

(This book is in Standard Color.)

Halloween is a magical time for everyone to come together and have some fun, and that is exactly what Mori the witch plans on doing.

It soon becomes clear, though, that other people's goals are solely focused upon making sure some of her monstrous friends don't enjoy this most spooktacular time of the year.

Monsters have always existed - in real life and in people's imaginations, but they hadn't always revealed themselves to humans because they knew that fear was a powerful motivator for many mortals. Monster Point is a town filled with monsters who have always lived together peacefully. Now that the supernatural population have become a reality to the mortal realm, the townsfolk have encouraged humans to come live amongst them and combine the best of both realms into a world that embraces the differences of everyone and still is capable of shining with the light of friendship, understanding, and compassion for all.

Change is hard for some people, though. Sometimes it is easier to embrace fear than it is to embrace hope. With a little magic and some clever manipulations, Mori and her friends set out to bring the town together to enjoy their Halloween and each inhabitant's unique contribution to this great celebration of life.
