Plot[]

A year after the happy ending of previous events, the Wishbone family is struggling with its various shortcomings. Son Max is the lowest student in the 8th grade. All the classmates are at least a head taller, so they laugh at the clumsy fat man with glasses. Faye's daughter is sure that all her friends are talented in something, but she is not. Emma's mother tries to help her children, but her advice is ignored at best and often irritates them. And then there's Father Frank, whose happiness at his new job and calmer lifestyle is being ruined because his family is so unhappy. The good news is that the wedding of the witch Baba Yaga and the hunchbacked butler of Renfield will take place (both became part of the large Wishbone family as surrogate grandparents). What's bad is that a few seconds before they had to exchange oaths, two lovers are kidnapped by a girl the same age as Max! This is the super cool Mila Starr, the only daughter of a billionaire, scientific genius, philanthropist, couple Marlene and Maddox Starr. The Wishbones have only one choice: if they want to save Baba Yaga and the Hunchback, they must become monsters again. Yes, mom became a vampire, dad chooses the role of Frankenstein, children become a restless werewolf and an attractive mummy. The company of these monsters is embarking on a new journey to save Baba Yaga and Renfield, because the wedding must take place no matter what.
