Synopsis

With thrills, chills, and laughs on every page, plus a boy-girl rivalry that will leave you in stitches, this is one frighteningly funny book you don't want to miss. In this second book in a middle grade series that's "sure to please young readers looking for a thrill" (Kirkus Reviews, starred review), three monster-obsessed friends must take on a mad scientist who is literally stitching together a Frankenstein-esque football team.

Nick, Carter, and Angelo are back to monster business as usual. They're even filming a monster movie for a school project on Building a Brighter Tomorrow. (There's a connection there somewhere, they swear.) But when a new private school arrives in town boasting a football team that's inhumanly good, the boys start to suspect they may have a real monster mystery on their hands. And what's worse, they may need help from their girl rivals, Angie, Tiffany, and Dana, to get to the bottom of it.

One mad scientist. Two rival teams of monster hunters. This might be their toughest case file yet.

• Boy-Girl Rivalry: Nick, Carter, and Angelo think they know everything about monsters—until their rivals Angie, Tiffany, and Dana prove that six heads are better than three.
• Humorous Horror: Packed with chills, thrills, and laugh-out-loud moments, this is a spooky mystery that never takes itself too seriously.
• Mad Scientist Mayhem: A new school’s football team is impossibly good, and the boys suspect the truth is stitched together with more than just team spirit.
• A Monstrous School Project: While they investigate a real monster mystery, the boys are still trying to film their own monster movie for a school contest!

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

J. Scott Savage has returned after being lost in a Mexican rainforest. His office is now filled with Mayan scrolls, hieroglyphics, artifacts, and star charts. His children and children-in-law, Big Nick, Erica, Scott, Natalie, Jake, and Little Nick, look pale and claim to be cursed. His grandchildren, Gray, Lizzie, and Jack, are heavily wrapped in mummy-like bandages. And his wife, Jennifer, has reportedly been seen glowing green and hexing the neighbors.
