The Unlikely Aventuras of Ramón and El Cucuy

By: Higuera, Donna Barba

A young monster befriends the human child he has been assigned to scare, in this spooky-funny chapter book debut from Newbery Medal-winning author Donna Barba Higuera.

It's a monster's ancient duty to inflict unimaginable horrors on misbehaving kids.

But when a young cucuy who is anxious to prove himself is sent to the human world to terrorize his first child, the naughty ni o isn't scared by glowing eyes, sharp talons, or even disgusting breath. Instead, he is preoccupied with worries about his first day at a new school. Can the little cucuy prove himself as a fierce boogeyman? As he soon learns from his human, maybe some things are scarier than creatures under the bed. And maybe even a monster could use a friend.

This first chapter book from Newbery Medal-winning author Donna Barba Higuera delightfully blends sly humor, light spookiness, and lots of heart and is perfect for fans of Jon Klassen's The Skull.
