"Shelley Frankenstein is a little girl with a rather infamous family heritage. She loves to be scared and assumes all other kids feel the same. To prove her theory, Shelley and her assistant brother Iggy set about creating new toys to horrify their playground peers. But all of their experiments backfire in a completely unexpected way. ... Then one day, they stumble upon a pretty spooky place--the Frankenstein family graveyard--which gives Shelley an idea for the ultimate monster: CowPiggy"--

Kerry's family goes berserk with Christmas every year, but Kerry needs a little peace and quiet. Her neighbor, Mrs. Flores, is having a quieter Christmas, with decorations and music from the country where she used to live.

Every Christmas there are two tables -- the kids' table and the adults' table. So why in the world would an 8-year-old girl be stuck at the kids' table? She deserves to be at the adult table! And after an empowered speech and mini-breakdown, the girl is moved to the adult table.
