Anthony and his sister's newly purchased monster figurines come to life. Frozen for fifty years, the creatures have only a short window of time in which they can return to their human shape and foil the dastardly plans of evil aliens. Coville's rollicking tale has an unbelievable plot and exaggerated characters, but this is exactly what makes it so entertaining.
