Collin is obsessed with coins—collecting them, stacking them, and using them in magic tricks. One day, his misguided dismissal of a cautionary legend lands him in the clutches of Margarash, a monster who also loves coins. Locked in a cage in Margarash’s lair, deep within the cushions of his parents’ couch, Collin must think fast if he is ever going to escape and make it back home!

A surprising book that is also a little scary and more than a little deep, Margarash is about a young boy and a seemingly-nasty monster who realize they need each other.

"It reads like a modern-day fairy tale though it has the feeling of age about it: children confronting and outsmarting monsters - and the best part - befriending monsters." -★Youth Services Book Review

"It’s a story with the feel of a modern-day fairy tale or urban legend, one that suggests that compassion and common ground can go a long way toward making friends out of would-be enemies." - Publishers's Weekly

"A sweet tale of a mutual passion and an unlikely friendship." - Kirkus 

"In goofy and dramatic pictures, Tim Miller captures the descent into this land of a young coin-fancier named Collin, his tussles with the toothy monster, and the odd fellowship that develops between them." - The Wall Street Journal
