Dave Coverly

Two friends embark on a zany misadventure. Will their boldness earn them badges or will their hijinks leave them stuck in a creepy shopping mall?

But, as is always the case with these two birds, their adventure turns into a misadventure when they end up at a shopping mall-fun by day, scary by night! Trapped inside, what crazy scheme will they come up with to get out? Here's the much anticipated second book in this fun new chapter book series.

Night of the Living Worms:

"Both [pictures and text] are liberally festooned with gags, sight gags, . . . and puns." --Kirkus Reviews

"Coverly's drawings are full of visual jokes, and the narrative is packed with playful language. . . .Clever, imaginative, and precisely targeted to its audience, this new series is sure to please." --Booklist
