After a family fight, he runs away from home and crosses the sea in a boat to an island of wild creatures who proclaim him king. There he discovers that being king of the monsters is much harder than he imagined.
Novel inspired by the classic tale by Maurice Sendak and the screenplay by Dave Eggers and Spike Jonze; translation by Cruz Rodríguez Juiz. Original title: The Wild Things.
