Monsters Unleashed: Bugging Out - by John Kloepfer (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

From the author of the popular Zombie Chasers series comes the second book in the hilarious, action-packed Monsters Unleashed duology, now in paperback!

The only thing worse than monsters? Bugs. Billions of them.

Just when Freddie Liddle thought he could catch a break, a new kind of terror infests his town: slimy, disgusting, man-eating, self-replicating bugs. But these aren't just any pests--these bugs were 3D printed by Freddie's classmate Trevor, and they're stronger, faster, and meaner than any other insect on earth.

Now it's up to Freddie, his new friends, and their pet monsters to stop these bad bugs before they devour everything in sight. The kids start crunching, stomping, and smashing, but as the bugs get bigger, the chances of winning against them get smaller.

Can Freddie and his friends get the creepy crawlers to buzz off before their town goes SPLAT?

• Unlikely Heroes: Freddie and his former bullies have to put their differences aside when a new kid unleashes an army of 3D-printed bugs.
• Pet Monsters: With their own growing monsters by their side, the kids have some serious backup--but will it be enough against billions of creepy crawlers?
• Non-Stop Action: Get ready for epic battles, hilarious mishaps, and a race against time to stomp, smash, and crunch the bugs before they devour the entire town.
• Hilarious Adventure: A laugh-out-loud story about teamwork, creativity, and trying to save the world when your biggest problem is self-replicating insect goo.

Praise for the Zombie Chasers series: "If there's an award for the grossest descriptions of zombies, Kloepfer would win it. Preteen boys will love it." - St Paul Pioneer Press
