Most kids are only allergic to things like pollen or peanuts, but not Zick–he’s also allergic to monsters!

Elena Potato just moved to Oldmill Village, but she’s about to find out that there’s a lot more going on in this quiet little town than meets the eye–Oldmill Village is actually an oasis for all kinds of monsters!
