"A lighthearted, clever send-up of zany horror conventions, this book is just the thing for kids about ready for M. T. Anderson's Whales on Stilts." -Booklist When Joules and Kevin Rockman's parents drop them off at Camp Whatsitooya on their way to an International Spamathon, the twins expect a summer of marshmallows, campfires, and canoe trips. What they do not expect is to defend the earth from an invasion of sugar-addicted, murderous, seven-foot-tall rabbits from another galaxy. Happily, the Rockman twins, veteran watchers of the Late, Late, Late Creepy Show for Insomniacs, are unusually well-prepared for dealing with monstrous beings from outer space. If only their fellow campers were so lucky. Andrea Beaty, New York Times-bestselling author of several very funny picture books and a mystery novel, here reaches new heights of hilarity and verbal dexterity in a novel sure to become a camp-ba-dum-dum-classic. "Beaty's tale of high silliness is sure to please, and it's dotted with Santat's mini-comics and spot illustrations, which move the story along." -Kirkus Reviews "Beaty's storytelling is lighthearted and fast-paced . . . her unconventional and entertaining narrative make it a wholly fun read." -Publishers Weekly
