Two American children tackle a powerful towering "Boogie" monster. As their world slowly disappears around them, as the monster eats words and the ideas behind those words disappear from existence, the two kids fight back. Desserts are at stake, but it doesn't stop at sweets! Liberty, education, backpacks and even other children, are on the line. This story guides children, with rhymes and colorful illustrations, to understand that they can fight back against bullies. They can fight back by understanding how bullies work, and then using how bullies work against the bullies themselves.By the end, children will recognize that it's easier to stand up to monsters when they're not doing it alone. Once they realize it's easy to confront a bully face to face, they know they can do it again, and again, and again.
