Lucy enjoys frightening her little brother with monster stories. Then one day, she visits the library and discovers the librarian has a secret. She's convinced he's a monster. But when she tells her friends and family, they don't believe her. When Lucy observes the summer librarian eating flies and turning into a grotesque creature, she is certain that he is a real, live monster. SHE’S TELLING THE TRUTH . . . BUT NO ONE BELIEVES HER. Lucy likes to tell monster stories. She’s told so many that her friends and family are sick of it. Then one day Lucy discovers a real, live monster: the librarian in charge of the summer reading program. Too bad Lucy’s told so many monster tall tales. Too bad no one believes a word she says. Too bad the monster knows who she is . . . and is coming after her next.
