Love can be a real monster. Sixteen-year-old BoyΓ’β¬β’s never left home. When youΓ’β¬β’re the son of FrankensteinΓ’β¬β’s monster and the Bride, itΓ’β¬β’s tough to go out in public, unless you want to draw the attention of a torch-wielding mob. And since Boy and his family live in a secret enclave of monsters hidden under Times Square, itΓ’β¬β’s important they maintain a low profile. BoyΓ’β¬β’s only interactions with the world are through the Internet, where heΓ’β¬β’s a hacker extraordinaire who can hide his hulking body and stitched-together face behind a layer of code. When conflict erupts at home, Boy runs away and embarks on a cross-country road trip with the granddaughters of Jekyll and Hyde, who introduce him to malls and diners, love and heartbreak. But no matter how far Boy runs, he canΓ’β¬β’t escape his demonsΓ’β¬βboth literal and figurativeΓ’β¬βuntil he faces his family once more. This hilarious, romantic, and wildly imaginative tale redefines what it means to be a monsterΓ’β¬βand a man.
