Description:
Pixar animators Sequoia Blankenship and Rob Thompson deliver a madcap adventure through Hollywood as Feo, a down-on-his-luck chupacabra, must transform into a famous movie monster to save his hometown.
This heartfelt debut graphic novel from two seasoned Pixar animators is a funny, fast-paced adventure about the power of friendship and the importance of believing in yourself.
When the tiny Mexican town of Cabrito Viejo is in danger of being bought out by a nefarious film studio, Feo, the mythical but feisty chupacabra, teams up with Camila, a plucky mechanic and local monster enthusiast, to hatch a plan to save their home.
Inspired by her father's collection of monster movies, the pair head to Hollywood to convince famed screenwriter Doctor Acula to put Feo's name up in lights. But Feo isn't exactly the terrifying fiend that local legends make him out to be.
Can the unlikely duo really save the village by making the chupacabra Hollywood's next great monster?
