Inspired by the 1954 movie Godzilla: King of the Monsters, this middle-grade novel recounts Godzilla's first appearance and treats readers to the story of his origins. Legends say twentieth century nuclear testing transformed the lone surviving Godzillasaurus dinosaur into a towering monster who can deliver an atomic blast with his breath and topple whole buildings with his tail—which is just what he does when he rises from the Pacific and pays his first visit to Tokyo, Japan.
