Please Don't Tell My Parents I Blew Up the Moon (56 page)

Rex Gerard is the last in a long bloodline of monster slayers that have been chronicled throughout history in pages that we have embraced as pure fiction. Dracula exists. The Creature exists. The Headless Horseman exists… All these monsters that we’ve thought to be fantasy truly exist in Rex’s world and he’s our only hope in protecting us. As he matures within the series of books as the readers do, so will the threat against humanity and the growing level of monsters will get far more terrifying. It’s up to Rex and his new motley crew of misfit friends that he goes to school with at Scholomance to save the world before it’s too late.

Someone seems to be draining the power from all of the enchanted items in the village. But who could it be and why have they implicated Hobart’s grandfather? Follow Hobart, Specks, and Rosie as they try to solve this mystery, straying dangerously close to disaster not only for themselves, but the entire village of Pennywhistle.

“Robert, an ordinary boy, finds himself in a newly chaotic world. Buildings move when and where they please, and time jumps around according to no known laws of physics. For Robert, getting to his regular school in the morning is next to impossible. As for getting home…

But then, Holden - a boy he and his friend, Nila, meet in a cave - offers them a string. No, not twine, but a string of the kind that forms the universe. Teeny and tiny, and invisible to the naked eye, this string will take Robert and Mila to their homes and way, way beyond…

Accompanied by a memorable cast of characters, Robert and his friends follow the string on a journey across time, space, and dimension to discover the answer to a mystery: Who has caused the world to fall apart?”
