The whole Monster family is excited: Little Molly is going get a little brother or sister. But mom and dad have to go to Monster Island to hatch the egg. Once they’re gone, Molly realizes her parents forgot their present for the baby, so she sets out to find them along with her best friend, Edison. It turns out to be more difficult than Molly expected when she realizes she has no idea where Monster Island is.
