Boa Constructor: A Branches Book (the Binder of Doom #2): Volume 2

Brief Description:
Something is stealing machine parts from all over Stermont, including a wrecking ball from a local construction site, and Alexander and his fellow monster hunters, Rip, and Nikki, fear that it is building a Stermont-smashing machine--so the friends must use the resources of the summer maker program at the library to stop this monster, and perhaps even solve the mystery of who is leaving monster trading cards where the Super Secret Monster Patrol can find them.

Review Quotes:
Praise for Boa Constructor (The Binder of Doom #2): "The second book in the 'Binder of Doom' series features the mystery and monsters readers loved in the first installment... This mysteriously monster-filled binder of fun is a must-purchase for the early chapter book section of elementary libraries." -- School Library Journal Praise for Rise of the Balloon Goons (The Notebook of Doom #1): "Cranking up the horrorlarity with googly eyed cartoon figures and sight gags on nearly every page, Cummings pitches his nervous but resourceful newcomer into a climactic, all-out battle with an entire army of aggressive, air-stealing bendy balloons... An unusually promising series opener for proto-Goosebumps fans." -- Kirkus Reviews Praise for The Eensy Weensy Spider Freaks Out!: "Clever text full of witty asides." -- School Library Journal Praise for More Bears!: "[Artwork that is] infused with zaniness of fun." -- School Library Journal
