The Eighth Continent #4
We Built This City
Would you like to live on the eighth continent? Now's your chance!
Rick and Evie Lane have done the impossible: they’ve gotten the eighth continent ready to populate! There’s just one problem--their arch nemesis, Vesuvia Piffle, is trying to do the same thing!
The Lanes will have to figure out how to counter Vesuvia’s promises of “double decker oceans” and endless brightly-colored smoothies in order to entice people to join them and not their former enemy. But with weapons manufacturer Mastercorp and a particularly pesky Winterpole junior agent on both theirs and Vesuvia’s tails, it’s only a matter of time before the Lanes will have to make an impossible choice—risk losing their beloved homeland or unite with the ever exasperating, ever plastic-wrapped Vesuvia Piffle.

Boring and bad at first but then was really good
March 15, 2016
In this hilarious new series for 8-12 year-old readers, brilliant brother and sister duo Rick and Evie Lane set off on an around-the-world quest to transform the Great Pacific Garbage Patch into an eighth continent where they can make their own rules. Not bad, would give it to fans of the 39 clues and mineraft. 4th grade and up
