The follow-up to the instant New York Times bestseller and Indie Next pick by author Drew Daywalt (The Day the Crayons Quit) and illustrator Mike Lowery continues the hilarious adventures of Sam the pug as he protects his family from suburban evil.
Hello again, naked-monkey-thing.
Its me, Samhuman being, chief security officer of the Peterson family, and defender of all that is good and righteous.
Let me catch you up: Meow, my beloved sidekick, can talk now (100 percent because of the language lessons I gave him), and a mad bomber is after him. Also, Justin made a new friend, Dean, who he hangs out with all the time. Im trying to be supportive, but there is something I dont trust about the guy.
Lets just say I have good instincts about these things . . .
