Bookroo's summary

Rosie, a young monster, faces an unusual challenge: her parents want her to misbehave. In a world where bad manners are celebrated, Rosie must navigate her instincts to be good and learn the art of being bad. Will she succeed in becoming the monster her family desires, or will her true nature prevail? This humorous tale invites young readers to explore the upside-down world of monster etiquette, where being naughty is the ultimate goal. Join Rosie on her journey of self-discovery and see if she can meet her parents' monstrous expectations.
