Bookroo's summary

At the motorcycle races, the Bailey School kids meet Jessie, a rider with a love for the sea and a suspiciously wet appearance. As they uncover her connection to sea monsters, they fear she might be more than she seems. If Jessie wins, Eddie's grandmother will move to a seaside resort, taking Eddie with her. Can the kids unravel Jessie's secret and keep Eddie in Bailey City? Dive into a thrilling mystery where the stakes are high and the truth is as elusive as the Loch Ness Monster.

From the publisher

The hugely popular early chapter book series re-emerges with a new look! Brand-new eye-catching cover art brings a modern feel to this classic monster series for young readers. The Bailey School kids join Eddie’s grandmother at the motorcycle races where they get to know Jessie, a mysterious motorcycle rider. But as the kids learn about Jessie – she loves the sea, knows all about sea monsters, is dripping wet whenever she appears, and is the cousin of Nessie, a woman the kids were certain was the Loch Ness Monster – they get suspicious. If Jessie wins the grand prize, she’s going to build a seaside resort where Eddie’s grandmother will move – and she’ll take Eddie with her! Can the kids stop Jessie from winning and keep Eddie in Bailey City where he belongs?
