Bookroo's summary

Jeremy's quiet day turns chaotic when his drawing springs to life, demanding attention and lunch. As the monster takes over, Jeremy must find a way to reclaim his space. Can he outsmart his own creation, or will imagination blur into reality? With humor and creativity, Jeremy devises a clever plan to send his monstrous guest packing. Dive into a whimsical tale where art and reality collide, leaving you to wonder where the line truly lies.

From the publisher

Alone in his room, Jeremy draws a monster. But then the monster wants lunch! As his creation takes over, Jeremy begins to wonder how he will ever get rid of the monstrous nuisance. He entertains his unwanted guest all day, but enough is enough. Jeremy finally draws him a bus ticket out of town! With a sure artistic touch and more than a dose of humor, Peter McCarty cleverly blurs the line between his own drawings and Jeremy’s, and in doing so subtly questions the line between reality and imagination.
