Troll Patrol

TROLL PATROL

A MONSTROUS SUMMER CAMP!

The kids from P.S. 13 are enjoying their summer vacation at Camp Horrorific, but things keep disappearing from their bunks! Only Danny Keegan and his monster pals know what’s behind the creepy goings-on—trolls from the woods surrounding the camp are robbing the campers blind!

The problem is, nobody believes Danny and his friends. It’s up to them to catch the trolls, but they end up snaring friendly dwarves in their troll traps instead. Can the Fifth Grade Monsters and their pint-sized allies stop the thieves and save the day—or have they stumbled into giant-sized trouble?

Join THE FIFTH GRADE MONSTERS on summer vacation.
