Humphrey the Horrible sounds scary, but he’s actually a very friendly skeleton, with twinkling eye sockets and jangling finger bones. Humphrey dreams of being ghastly, like his brother a screaming skull or terrifying, like his bloodsucking vampire-bat cousins. But when Humphrey discovers an evil plot to exorcise his family, he finally realizes you don’t have to be spine-chillingly fearsome to be a hero.
