Description
When the circus comes to town, the creepy clown latches his ghastly eyes onto Frank.
The clown promises the townsfolk he can capture the monsters they're afraid of and force them to perform in his macabre circus.
Frank has finally made friends, but they are monsters too. Frank wants nothing more than for his two worlds to meet, for monsters and humans to be able to live together. But now it's more vital than ever that the monsters remain hidden.
This gripping adventure brings thrills and shivers alongside a cast of sweet monsters who just want to be accepted for who they are.
