Part of the I Need My Monster series
A child tries to get their little sister to sleep with the help of various monsters.
Ethan's bedtime routine is shattered when his monster, Gabe, leaves a note saying he's needed elsewhere. Desperate to reclaim his comforting companion, Ethan discovers Gabe might be helping his mischievous sister. As Ethan searches for a new monster, none seem to fit the bill. Just when hope fades, a tutu-wearing monster arrives, promising a night of giggles and shivers. Will Ethan's nights ever be the same?

Gotta go. Someone needs me more than you do. –Gabe” How will Ethan ever get to sleep without his monster’s familiar, comforting snorts? And who could need Gabe more than Ethan does? Gabe must have gone to Ethan’s little sister’s room! She has been climbing out of bed every night to play, and obviously needs a monster to help her get to sleep – but not HIS monster! Ethan tries to help his sister find her own monster, but none are the perfect blend of cute and creepy. Just when it seems that Ethan will lose his monster forever, an uninvited, tutu-toting little monster full of frightening fun appears. Following in the spooky-silly tradition of I Need My Monster, here’s another irresistible monster-under-the-bed story with the perfect balance of giggles and shivers.
