Jimmy Bishop likes crime fighters, vampires, and dogs, and he does not care for his new babysitter, so he is delighted when his new dog, Abby--who sleeps during the day, and grows huge fangs at night--turns out to be a crime-fighting, vampire dog, who also does not like the babysitter.

No one fights crime harder than the Crimebiters gang... and of course my crime-fighting dog, Abby. Together, we've fought against corruption in the world of elementary school sports and even stopped a neighborhood crime ring! But now a copy of the final math test has been stolen, AND our local animal shelter (where I found Abby!) is in danger of closing. As if that weren't enough, Daisy has introduced her new kitten, Purrkins, into the Crimebiters...

He finally feels like he can embrace both his zombie side (unlimited jellybeans!) and his regular kid side (kickbutt trampoline moves!).And now there's a new zombie in town. Azalea, Arnold's closest friend from the Territory, is living with Evan's family and ready to try out human elementary school. But when Azalea questions whether or not she wants to return to the Territory, Arnold starts...

Huey, Dewey, and Louie are off on a globetrotting adventure! When the boys are selected for a presitious exchange program out of the blue (which really doesn't make sense - they're not the best-behaved ducks), they head off to Germany, where they can learn all about soccer, the local culture... and a spooky plot plaguing their new friends. What's all this about a haunting?

Tired of being forced to participate in sports and take extra lessons and tutoring to become well-rounded in anticipation of college, middle-schooler Jack Strong stages a sit-in on his couch until his parents ease up.

"Arnold Z. Ombee is back in this wacky, page-turning sequel to A Zombie Ate My Homework! The zombie secret is out! Sort of... Scientists at the lab that Arnold escaped from claim they've changed their tune. Instead of creating super zombie soldiers, they just want humans and zombies to be friends. Too good to be true? Probably. But Arnold agrees to help teach other zombies everything he's learned so far about being a real human boy. But there's something...
