Bookroo's summary
Leonardo is a monster who can't scare anyone, no matter how hard he tries. After intense training, he finally frightens a nervous boy, but the victory feels hollow. Realizing that being a monster isn't fulfilling, Leonardo wonders if he could be a better friend instead. Can he transform his monstrous nature into something more meaningful?
From the publisher
Leonardo is truly a terrible monster-terrible at being a monster that is. No matter how hard he tries, he can’t seem to frighten anyone. Determined to succeed, Leonardo sets himself to training and research. Finally, he finds a nervous little boy, and scares the tuna salad out of him! But scaring people isn’t quite as satisfying as he thought it would be. Leonardo realizes that he might be a terrible, awful monster-but he could be a really good friend.
