When the time comes for Bernadette to go to Monster Academy, she''s just a teensy bit nervous. Her classmates just don''t understand her. They''d rather uproot trees than sing friendship songs. And they prefer fried snail goo to Bernadette''s homemade cupcakes with sprinkles. Can Bernadette find a way to make friends at school and still be herself?
