"Penn dreads becoming a monster, but it's inevitable. He knows that as boys in Greemulax become men, they turn into powerful, hairy blue creatures called Grabagorns, and that their solemn vow is to never again be weak. Legend has it that dragons all but destroyed Greemulax years ago during the Great Scorch. None of the community's girls or women survived, and the men, ruled by Grabagorn Prime, have lived in mourning and anger ever since. But when Penn's dragon trap catches a real live girl named Kristy, he questions everything he thought was true. Together, Penn and Kristy set off on an adventure that will take them toward a candy forest guarded by dragons that might hold the answers they seek. The more time they spend with each other, however, the faster Penn transforms into the monster he fears, and the more Kristy fades away into nothing. Can they reach their destination and rewrite the rules of Greemulax before it's too late?" -- page [4] of cover.
