As winners of last year's Ghoul Games, the students of Scary School are off to Monster Forest. School may be scary, but the forest has a few frights of its own, including:

• Bearodactyls—so terrifying we can't even show you pictures of them
• Princess Zogette, the Monster King's toad-faced daughter, who falls for Charles Nukid . . . hard
• Captain Pigbeard, fearsome leader of the Monster-Pirates and Princess Zogette's fiance (well, former fiance, thanks to Charles)

And when Zogette follows Charles to Scary School, the Monster King and Captain Pigbeard raise their armies and chase after her. But the monsters have no idea who—or what—they're dealing with.
