Bookroo's summary

Marty Onster is not your average kid. At school, he tries to blend in, but his monstrous hunger threatens to reveal his true nature. As lunchtime approaches, Marty faces a dilemma: satisfy his enormous appetite or risk exposing his secret. Can he find a way to enjoy his meal without causing a scene? Join Marty on a humorous journey of self-discovery and acceptance, where fitting in might mean embracing what makes him unique. Will he manage to keep his monstrous side under wraps, or will his hunger get the best of him?
