<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>In the first intallment of National Book Award winner M.T. Anderson's Pals in Peril series, a madman has unleashed an army of stilt-walking, laser-beaming, thoroughly angry whales upon the world! Luckily, Jasper Dash and his friends Katie Mulligan and Lily Gefelty are around to save the day.</b> <p/>Sure, Lily Gefelty is just an average twelve-year-old girl. But her dad--a normal-enough-seeming guy--just so happens to work for an evil genius who plans to unleash an army of extremely cranky, stilt-walking, laser-beam-eyed whales upon the world. <p/>Lucky for Lily, her two best friends are anything <i>but</i> average. Both of them are famous for their adventures. Jasper Dash, Boy Technonaut, invents gadgets; Katie Mulligan spends her spare time fighting off zombies and were-goats. Surely<i> they'll</i> know what to do. And if they don't? Then it will be up to Lily--average, everyday Lily--to come up with a plan.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>*"Armed with an array of adjectives, non-sequitors, bizarre asides, irrelevant footnotes, and running gags, Anderson sends up decades of children's book series, and creates a hysterical tale of his own."<P> --"Publishers Weekly", starred review<br><br>*"Goosebumps fans and readers who get Lemony Snicket's brand of humor will be rolling in the aisles."<P> --"Booklist", starred review<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>M.T.
