Synopsis
Joey and Harry are already having an unhappy museum visit: they dislike each other and are stuck on the same school trip. Then they encounter monsters enjoying an outing of their own. These visitors have come to spread misfortune among humans, and taking two children home seems an excellent addition to their plans. For Joey and Harry, it means being carried off to the monsters' world, where the king is expecting something to eat. Their disagreement suddenly matters less than finding a way to survive and return home. The Ministry of Mischief introduces a pair of reluctant companions to a place where badly behaved magical creatures make the rules.
