As bizarre events unfold, including a storm of carnivorous frogs, the boys must team up with the Ellison twins to stop the corporation from turning residents into mindless zombies.

Will they succeed in keeping their community and family intact, or will Logan County's uniqueness be lost forever?

From the publisher

In this third Legendary Alston Boys adventure from Edgar Award-nominated author Lamar Giles, Otto and Sheed have to team up with the Ellison twins to take down a corporation obsessed with the weirdness of Logan County and that’s turning its residents into Money-Zombies. Otto and Sheed are back in yet another legendary adventure that just might take all their deduction skills, and a good bit of help from friends and family, to solve. With the Rorrim Mirror Emporium closed and their adventures through the last mirror on the left behind them, Otto and Sheed are ready for things to get back to normal. But the FixItYall that Sheed took warned of side effects and they quickly come true–starting with a thunderstorm raining frogs. But that’s only the beginning. Teachers begin quitting suddenly, vets leave their animals behind, and a strange goat starts delivering takeout orders. When a suspicious company known as GOO, obsessed with Logan County’s weirdness, shows up and starts buying all the property in town and threatening to take Sheed away after some strange new energy is traced back to him, the Legendary Alston Boys of Logan County, along with Otto’s mom, Sheed’s dad, and the Ellison twins, have to find a way to save their town and keep their family together.
