Benjamin Brooks: Totems and Toadstones

by Joey Ruff

Benjamin Brooks was not born a monster hunter. He was just a normal kid, much like you probably are. Nothing special ever happened to him. That is, until he met the new neighbor. Only a day after moving in next door, Adam tells Ben that something in the forest needs their help, and it opens his world to wonders he had only dreamed a giant frog that can drink an entire river, weird turtle-men that like to eat apples, and a grasshopper that plays guitar. Soon, Ben and Adam find themselves on a race against time to discover the secrets of the forest and stop the evil that stalks after the sun goes down. For a fourth grader, hunting monsters isn’t a job, it’s an adventure.
