Based on the bestselling iOS Game Application and in print for the first time! Sometimes opportunity knocks... but in thirteen-year-old Evan Coulton"s case, opportunity ding-dong ditches him and leaves a plain and uninteresting box on his doorstep - with contents that are anything but plain and uninteresting! Before Evan knows it, his kitchen (and his life) have been upturned by an adorable, small, green creature with an endless appetite for sweets, and a knack for getting into serious trouble... which is a problem for Evan, because up until now, tying his shoes was all the trouble he could handle!
