Books Included in This Collection:
The Underpants of Chaos
Lenny Tuchus and Agatha Topps dive into a schoolwide mystery when peculiar SHIVERS strike Little Strangehaven Primary.

The Attack of the Robot Librarians

Lenny and Agatha follow a trail that twists through Pamela Stranglebum’s shadowy schemes and Minerva Industries’ influence, aided by their gargoyle friend Gregor. This second caper keeps the jokes sharp and the stakes invitingly high, balancing clever tech twists with warm, loyal friendship.
