A childhood savior resurfaces as cryptids vanish. Can Penny and friends save them?
Penny's childhood memory of the Bawk-ness Monster, a creature that saved her from drowning, drives her to find it one last time before moving away. With friends Luc and K, she embarks on a quest to see 'Bessie' again. But their adventure takes a dangerous turn when they discover cryptids are being kidnapped by a sinister collector. As the stakes rise, Penny and her friends must act quickly to rescue these mythical beings. Will they succeed in their mission, or will the cryptids disappear forever?
Penny swears that when she was a little girl, a creature called the Bawk-ness Monster–half sea serpent, half chicken–saved her from drowning. Now, years later, she’s about to move away to a new city, and before she goes, she needs the help of her best friends, Luc and K, for a vitally important mission: seeing “Bessie” one more time. But in their quest to find Bessie and give Penny the send-off she deserves, the kids stumble into a whole new problem–cryptids are being kidnapped by an evil collector, and only Penny, Luc, and K can save them!
