The Starter Cafe

Made-mon are monsters, creatures that are man-made objects brought to life when enough love, care, and attention are put into their creation. People have been living among them for many years, making them their partners. Some work with them, some study them, and some battle with them. But sometimes, some abandon them when they become too weak.  That’s where Professor Lake Rock comes in. Rock works at a starter cafe. He’s a young professor who hasn’t had a lot of experience compared to the other professors in the region, but he is good at his job. He learned how to do it from watching his mother, the professor who started the starter cafe concept.  When an abandoned Chairmon is brought in one day by a group of young Made-mon crafters, Rock must help it overcome its traumas and heal so that it can find a new forever home. Will he be able to help it? Will it help him overcome his own traumas? What to expect:  - A cozy slice of life middle grade and YA novel.  - Healing with the powers of friendship.                                                                                               - An adorable creature collecting storyline similar to Pokémon, Digimon, and Bakugan.
