Story

Magical. Mystical. Munchie!

No friends. The new school sucks. And Mom is in love with a sleazy research doctor. Pretty bleak. That’s how life looks to ten-year-old Gage when suddenly, into his world pops the magical Munchie. Munchie is the ever-hungry and hilarious mysterious creature from another world who delivers flying pizzas and brings on the parties! With the help of Munchie and loony Professor Cruikshank, Gage evens the score on his school’s bullies as well as his mom’s boyfriend and has the greatest summer ever!
