Monsters vs. Aliens ( The Junior Novel )

Description

Monsters vs. Aliens: The Junior Novel is an action-packed, hilarious story based on the DreamWorks animated movie Monsters vs. Aliens. Adapted into a novel for younger readers, it brings all the wild adventure, humor, and heart of the movie straight onto the page, making it perfect for fans who love crazy battles, funny monsters, and epic alien invasions!

The story begins with Susan Murphy, a perfectly normal woman living in California — until, on her wedding day, she’s struck by a mysterious meteorite filled with powerful outer space energy. To her shock and horror, Susan grows to an enormous size — nearly 50 feet tall! Before she can even figure out what’s happening, the government swoops in and captures her, whisking her away to a secret military base. There, Susan is renamed “Ginormica” and meets a team of other unusual creatures the government has been hiding for years.

These monsters include:

• B.O.B. (a jelly-like, indestructible blob with no brain but a big heart),

• Dr. Cockroach, Ph.D. (a mad scientist with the head of a cockroach),

• The Missing Link (a fish-ape hybrid from prehistoric times), and

• Insectosaurus (a massive, furry insect the size of a skyscraper who used to be a small grub).

While Susan struggles to adjust to her new monstrous size and life, an even bigger problem arrives: an evil alien overlord named Gallaxhar. He comes to Earth planning to conquer it using his advanced alien technology — and he’s after the powerful energy that transformed Susan!

When the military realizes that their weapons are no match for Gallaxhar’s giant alien robot, they have no choice but to call on the monsters to save the planet. Susan and her new monster friends must work together, face their fears, and discover their inner strength to defeat Gallaxhar and stop the alien invasion.

The novel captures all the exciting battles, funny moments, and emotional growth of the movie, showing Susan’s journey from feeling like a freak to realizing she’s strong, special, and heroic.
