Love can be a real monster. Sixteen-year-old Boyรขโฌโขs never left home. When youรขโฌโขre the son of Frankensteinรขโฌโขs monster and the Bride, itรขโฌโขs 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, itรขโฌโขs important they maintain a low profile. Boyรขโฌโขs only interactions with the world are through the Internet, where heรขโฌโขs 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 canรขโฌโขt escape his demonsรขโฌโboth literal and figurativeรขโฌโuntil he faces his family once more. This hilarious, romantic, and wildly imaginative tale redefines what it means to be a monsterรขโฌโand a man.
