Bookroo's summary

In Booville, chaos meets order when Bella Legrossi, the messiest monster, and Boris Kleanitoff, the tidiest ghoul, are forced to confront their differences. As Halloween approaches, their clashing lifestyles threaten to ruin the town's biggest party. Can these unlikely neighbors find common ground, or will their rivalry spell disaster for the festivities? Discover how a night of spooky fun might just change everything.

From the publisher

Bella Legrossi is the messiest monster in all of Booville. Her slime is the slimiest and her grime is the grimiest. Alas, she is neighbors with Boris Kleanitoff, a persnickety ghoul so tidy he vacuums his vampire bats. What could ever bring these two together? Why, a hoppin’ Halloween party, of course!
