Junior is just your typical boy, except his dad is Mothman. He goes to Cryptid Elementary School, and his best friend, Dennis, is the son of a Dogman.
He wants to be like his father and no longer have to go to school, but do what his father does, which is scaring human beings.
Except he will find that being Mothman is much harder than he imagined when you are just a small Mothboy.
It's never to early or late to introduce children to their first cryptid! So make it a cool one like Mothman and his son.
The story touches on the reasons why kids should listen to their parent when told they aren't old enough to do some things yet. Junior gets a good scare before dad find him and brings him safely home.
Kids can relate to the artwork because it is designed to look like Junior illustrated the book himself.
