About this title

Synopsis

Do hairy monsters have families? Or do they live all alone?

"This island is home to a great hairy beast!

With humongous feet and gigantic teeth.

He eats with his toes while having his feast."

When Bud, a lonely space kid, crash-lands on an island far from his home planet, he feels lost, frightened, and desperate to find where he belongs. Luckily, Amy-his brave new aviator-hearted protector-swoops in to help him face the unknown.

But this mysterious island is full of rustling bushes, bubbling waters, and something enormous watching in the shadows.

As danger closes in, Bud must face an even scarier question:

Can someone who feels completely alone ever find a loving home?

Can lost strangers become family?
