About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the big emotions of a family move or struggling with the 'be careful what you wish for' reality of sibling rivalry. It is a fantastic tool for children who use fantasy or 'what if' scenarios to process their real-world anxieties about fitting in and family changes. The story follows Morton and his siblings as they discover a buried gargoyle that grants wishes, only to realize that their desires have unleashed literal monsters. While the plot is spooky and fast-paced, the heart of the story is about the siblings learning to trust one another and take responsibility for their mistakes. It is perfectly suited for middle-grade readers who enjoy a thrill but need a grounded message about family loyalty and the weight of their choices.
