Like every kid in town, twelve-year-old Gabby has a pet monster. However, Gabby refuses to keep her monster, Dwight, in the cupboard.

But if Dwight doesn't meet his expectations, both Gabby and her pet will be given the boot.
Gabby's pet monster is supposed to compete at the district-wide spelling bee. But how can Dwight be a champion speller when no one understands him? After speech therapy fails, it seems the only answer is an interpreter. But if Vice Principal Burns has anything to say about it, there won't be an interpreter or a monster speller.
Twelve-year-old Gabby and her lovable pet monster Dwight embark on many adventures in the quest to improve Dwight's self-esteem. These delightful stories show readers how to overcome life's little challenges. The comic-book-style artwork adds to the appeal of this series.
