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

Troy Cummings has been drawing since he was a little kid. His illustrations have appeared in newspapers and magazines, on websites, on frozen-fish-stick packages, and in hospital waiting rooms.

Warning: This box set is filled with monsters.

Alexander and his friends, Rip and Nikki, become the Super Secret Monster Patrol (or the S.S.M.P. for short). Together, they battle monsters all over town — like wiggly balloon goons and a giant P-rex! Read the first five adventures!
