Creating a giant friendly monster character in her sketchbook after an inspiring if haphazard trip to the Art Institute of Chicago, Drew teams up with fellow artists to create comics that her monster character destroys whenever Drew starts to feel stress.

"Drew is just a regular artist. But there's nothing ordinary about her art. Her doodles are mischievous ... and rarely do they stay in Doodleville, the world she's created in her sketchbook. Instead, Drew's doodles prefer to explore the world outside. But after an inspiring class trip to the Art Institute of Chicago--where the doodles cause a bit too much trouble--Drew decides it's time to take her artistic talents to the next level.

That is, until Levi begins to wreak havoc on Drew's other doodles--and on the heroes her classmates have dreamt up"--Amazon.
