Sibling
rivalry is taken to the monster level with this humorous tale of a Hazel and
her younger brother, Billy. He is just a baby, yet has amazing monster talents
such as bending bars with his teeth and scaring the mailman. Hazel has these
talents too, but her family is forgetting all about her. To make them pay
attention she sets out on a mission to “scare” her brother away, but he keeps
coming back. The story ends with Billy winning a monster contest and Hazel
proving she also is a great monster herself.
