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 <em>inhumanly</em> 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.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>You hold in your hands a most frightening file.</p><p>Nick, Carter, and Angelo are back to monster business as usual.
