Sound the alarm -- things are heating up in Stermont! The Super Secret Monster Patrol arms themselves with water balloons to take on their hottest monster yet. But when puddles appear in the streets and the town starts to flood, Alexander and his friends realize there's a different monster splashing about! Get ready for an epic water battle in this fully illustrated, action-packed adventure from New York Times bestselling author-illustrator Troy Cummings!
The gang is trying to set their own records at camp and the town is attempting a World Record when another monster shows up. Can the kids find the monster in time ?
The SSMP is focused on breaking records with their STEM camp at the library. The whole town is gearing up to break the world record for largest Smore. But the SSMP is a little distracted from their projects when they realize there's another monster in town. They think they might know what it is, but are they on the right track or not?
I know some parents who would love to hire out the monster from this story for a day or two. It is a little obsessive compulsive about things being clean. Which is good on one level, but as our heroes find out can go too far. Another nice little mystery for the SSMP to solve.
Notes on content: The monster very briefly puts the kids in a perilous situation but no one is hurt.
