SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star are back for a new middle-grade mystery filled with ghosts, superheroes, and Bikini Bottoms most dangerous creatures
When a glowing green trail appears outside of the Shady Shoals Rest Home, retired superheroes Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy ask SpongeBob and Patrick to take on the case and figure out what the trail is. Unfortunately for the two detectives, they are lead through ship graveyards, underground tunnels, and ultimately in the nest of some of the most dangerous villains Bikini Bottom has ever been faced with!
SpongeBob SquarePants Mysteries Book 2 keeps up the thrills, twists, and laughs of Book 1 and will leave readers ready for another SpongeBob mystery!
