Come along and meet unique, extraordinary, and huge creatures on a mysterious isle. It’s like Monster Hunter and Godzilla on Gilligan’s Island!
On a fantastic voyage, a family discovers legendary monsters that come alive before their very eyes. A vacation goes awry when a perfect storm tosses their skipper’s tiny boat off course. Finnegan, his sister, parents, and dog Howl become seven castaways, stranded on a uncharted desert island!
Curiously, they venture into the unknown and encounter a menagerie of colorful and cackling creatures. These survivors see beasts bigger than life and straight from their wildest imaginations! But despite all their differences (and a menacing mountain), can everybody finally get along? Readers will learn about new animals and take a trip they’ll never forget being lost was never so fantastic!
