Charlie Hernández grew up listening to his grandmother telling him stories from Latino and Hispanic mythology. Sometimes she'd draw pictures of the monsters from the tales for him to identify. Charlie thought it was all a game. But he should have known better. Now his entire world has turned upside down. A fire destroyed his house, and his parents have disappeared. He's living with a temporary guardian while the police continue to look for his mom and dad. On top of that, he's grown horns. Yes, real, honest-to-goodness horns. They're small and honey-colored. But they're horns. Than the feathers appear. Feathers growing out of his pores, covering his arms and chest. And suddenly he's reminded of one of his abuela's myths. This one was about a creature call a Morphling, a shape-shifter. But myths aren't real, are they? As Charlie and his longtime crush, Violet Rey, set out to search for the truth, they realize that some monsters aren't hiding under the bed--they're hiding in plain sight
