A young boy attempts to transform his auntâs boring childrenâs book into an exciting one in this funny, fast-paced adventure perfect for fans of the Book Scavenger series!
Books arenât supposed to be dangerous. Are they?
Alex Harmon prefers running over sitting still reading. But when his aunt offers to pay him to point out the boring parts in her childrenâs book, he figures itâs an easy way to make ten bucks. The problem is that her book is about a grumpy frog and a prize-winning zucchini. It doesnât have only a few boring pagesâŠthe whole thing is a lost cause.
Alex gives his aunt some ideas to help her outâlike adding danger and suspense. But books canât just be interesting. They also have to be believable. Soon Alex recruits his friends to help him act out scenes so he can describe all the important details. Heâs even getting plot twists from a mysterious stranger (who might also be a ghost). Too late, Alex discovers that being a real-life stunt double for a fictional character can land you in terrible troubleâeven if your friends are laughing their heads off!
