    Hugo is more than just a kid-- he's a SUPER MAGIC BOY who's able to transform into anything that'll help him save the day! There's no adventure too big for him and his best friend Dino in this wacky and hilarious graphic novel series. In this volume, Hugo and Dino want to borrow some books from the library, but a scary alien slime is trying to eat them all! Will they be able to stop this monster or will this be THE LAST BOOK YOU EVER READ?!

    Hugo and Dino are avid readers, but they've run out of books to read at home! Luckily, they know a place where there are INFINITE books—the local library. The only thing standing in their way is...an ALIEN SLIME MONSTER whose plan for world domination involves eating EVERY BOOK ON EARTH!!!

    Normally, Hugo would be able to use his awesome transforming powers to save the day, but because nothing scares him more than slime monsters, his abilities are on the fritz! Will Hugo be able to overcome his fears to save the world?! Or will humanity never be able to read a book again?!

    "A high-energy celebration of a delightfully rambunctious childhood." —Kirkus Reviews
