He offers Stitch Head a new chance at family--one that will make him known by the whole world and forgotten by no one. The terms of Mr. F's deal may be glowing, but there's something dark lurking behind his eyes. As Stitch Head will learn, not every monster is a meanie ... and some seemingly normal folk can be the nastiest beasts of all!"--
