Case File 13 #2: Making the Team

With thrills, chills, and laughs on every page, plus a boy-girl rivalry that will leave you in stitches, this is one frighteningly funny book you don't want to miss. In this second book in a middle grade series that's "sure to please young readers looking for a thrill" (Kirkus Reviews, starred review), three monster-obsessed friends must take on a mad scientist who is literally stitching together a Frankenstein-esque football team.

Nick, Carter, and Angelo are back to monster business as usual. They're even filming a monster movie for a school project on Building a Brighter Tomorrow. (There's a connection there somewhere, they swear.) But when a new private school arrives in town boasting a football team that's inhumanly good, the boys start to suspect they may have a real monster mystery on their hands. And what's worse, they may need help from their girl rivals, Angie, Tiffany, and Dana, to get to the bottom of it.

What happens when your biggest rivals become your only hope?

Unlikely Allies: Nick, Carter, and Angelo have to join forces with their rivals—Angie, Tiffany, and Dana—to figure out what’s really going on. Mad Science Experiments: The new school’s football team isn’t just good, they’re inhuman. And it looks like someone is stitching them together from spare parts. Monster Hunters: The boys are obsessed with all things spooky, but they never expected to find a real-life horror story in their own town while filming their monster movie. Funny Horror for Kids: With laugh-out-loud moments, middle school drama, and just the right amount of chills, it’s a frighteningly fun read for kids ages 8-12.
