What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

Book three in the hilarious series from the award-winning and best-selling author Patrick Ness and illustrator Tim Miller. Our trio of hall monitor lizards, along with their hawk pal, Miel, are dealing with some unexpected arrivals in town. Alicia’s estranged dad suddenly wants to be in her life again, and the tough girl lizard has retreated into her ever-present hoodie. It’s up to Zeke and Daniel to figure out how to help their friend while also keeping an eye on the massive blimp that has appeared in the sky over school bully Pelicarnassus’s house. What is their nemesis up to now? With lively graphic illustrations, breakneck action, and a big heart, this book is sure to please fans of the Bad Guys and Dog Man series.
