The morning after a massive, violent storm, young Kirstie and her brother Angus are exploring the debris on a quiet Scottish beach when they stumble upon a massive, strange-looking egg. Curious, they drag the heavy object back home, completely unaware of what is growing inside. The very next day, the shell cracks open to reveal an incredibly bizarre creature. With the head of a horse, rough warty skin, four flippers, and the long, powerful tail of a crocodile, it is unlike anything they have ever seen. The children decide to keep the magical beast, naming him Crusoe and treating him like an ordinary family pet. But there is one massive problem: Crusoe simply will not stop growing. As he transforms from a bathtub-sized baby into a gigantic sea monster, keeping him hidden from the rest of the world becomes a hilarious and heartbreaking challenge. Discover the legendary, heartwarming origins of the Loch Ness Monster in this unforgettable tale of magic, loyalty, and letting go.
