About this book

"Mummy Man and Waffles is a nonstop thrill, chill, and slimy spill ride full of creepy crawlers and ludicrous laughs!" —John Patrick Green, New York Times bestselling author of the InvestiGators series "A popcorn bucket of a book...propelled by one lighthearted narrow escape from danger after another." —Kirkus Reviews Get ready for some spooky fun in the first installment of this all-new middle grade series from author Steve Behling, featuring side-splitting illustrations throughout by Robb Mommaerts! Wen Wyler (aka Waffles) is eleven years old and is forced to spend the summer in Maine with his grandpa, a former Hollywood makeup and special effects artist for classic horror films. Ever seen The Beast with a Thousand Toes, Glaarg!?Or its sequel, Glaarg! Again!? If so, then you might be familiar with his work. Wen, a horror movie aficionado, is persuaded to go when he finds out that part of the summer will be spent helping his grandpa sort through and organize his basement filled with props. Grandpa’s young neighbor, Tanya, has already been corralled into helping, and together they dig in until Wen accidentally brings one of the props to life. Mummy Man is a good guy, but the other creatures aren't so good. It’s up to Wen, Tanya, and Mummy Man (and his pet turtle, Frank) to stop the creatures from turning the town into the nexus for an all-out monster invasion. Now available in a lower-priced hardcover edition!
