Carnival Catastrophe (The Problim Children #2)

Mystery, mayhem, and magic abound as the peculiar Problims compete in the Corn Dog Festival and hunt for their missing mama in the second book in the uproarious series from New York Times bestselling author Natalie Lloyd!

Mona Problim plots to use all her charms, schemes, and circus spiders to win this year’s Little Miss Corn Dog crown and prove that being sinister and smart are better than sugar, spice, or anything nice. (Plus, it will be extra fun to watch Carley-Rue O’Pinion lose for the first time in three years!) But can Mona and her six siblings figure out the real reason their villainous neighbors think the Problims are too powerful to stay together? And will they find their Grandpa’s hidden treasure—and their mama!—before their enemies tear them apart?

With a dash of Lemony Snicket, a dollop of the Addams Family, and a hearty dose of whimsy, the second book in Natalie Lloyd’s delightfully clever series celebrates adventure, family, and the courage to face any problem heart-first.
