The Monster Hypothesis - Romily Bernard

When Kick moves to the small town of Bohring (population 454), she discovers the town's 100-year curse - all the kids are about to become monsters, or so the legend goes. Everyone's worried, except for Kick. She knows that even the most supernatural mystery has a rational, scientific explanation, and she's determined to get to the bottom of this. Can Kick use her science smarts to prove the curse is a hoax? Or is it just-maybe sort-of-somehow real?
