All Will Allen had ever wanted was to fit in.

Until the monsters came. 

Recruited and trained by the great monster detective, Bigelow Hawkins, Will conquered creatures more horrific than his mother’s asparagus dumplings.   For the first time in his life, he basked in the esteem of grateful classmates. 

But now his idyllic fellowship is crumbling.

His friends desert him when he helps people they revile, like school pariah Kane Kanawake. Even his monster-fighting partner, Jeannine Fitsimmons, turns her back on him when he takes the case of her haughty rival, Jaime McIntyre. But an unfathomable need compels Will to defy them all.

But when Jaime (accidentally?) lures him into the clutches of a horror even worse than monsters and the beam of his enchanted RevealeR flashlight fades as if something is consuming its mystical energies, can Will uncover Jaime’s dark secret and regain his monster-fighting mojo in time to save her, win back his friends, and prevent the world from falling into eternal darkness?
