Official synopsis Publisher
Krick isn’t very good at being a giant monster. His brother and sister tease him because it seems like he wants to save the city more than destroy it. His incompetence brings so much shame and embarrassment to his family that his father disowns him. In an act of desperation, his mother takes him to meet his grandfather, a legendary Kaiju, in the hope he can teach him to be a real monster.
With the help of his grandfather, Krick discovers his hidden special ability that might be the key to destroying not just any city but Eternal City, the only city in the entire world that monsters fear.
From the twisted mind of Shane McKenzie, author of Wet & Screaming and Muerte Con Carne comes a unique coming of age tale of a young kaiju on his path to greatness.
