(3) 4-6 Monstertown Mystery series. When students and teachers start raving madly then slipping into comas, Benny and Carlos (Mutant Mantis Lunch Ladies!) know that another supernatural evil is afoot at Monterrosa Elementary. With help from Tina and new student Esme, the boys are again thrust into monster-hunting as they confront a scorp-lion infestation. This series continues to be at once spooky and silly in the best possible way.
