Brunt and Eggbert are the happiest pair a boy and a monster could ever be.

Their days are filled with peach cobbler experiments, cozy story times, and endless projects to make their cave feel like home. Life is perfectly peaceful--until their dear friend Astrid, the head zookeeper, shows up at their door with a tiny, chaotic surprise.

She's a little lost monster, and she's a WRECK Quite literally. From shredding furniture to breaking pottery to gobbling up shoes in a single bite, Wreck turns Brunt and Eggbert's peaceful life upside down. Eggbert can't wait to send Wreck packing, but Brunt isn't so sure. Is Wreck just trouble, or could she be the missing piece their family never knew they needed?

Full of heart, humor, and a whole lot of mess, Brunt and Eggbert Happen Upon a Wreck is a story about patience, friendship, and discovering that sometimes family comes in the most unexpected (and seemingly disastrous but potentially spectacular) forms.
