Klappentext In her debut novel--the first in a new series--Ecton, a writer for NPR's popular quiz show "Wait, Wait . . . Don't Tell Me!," combines horror, humor, and a classic middle-grade story into one hilarious tale for young readers. Zusammenfassung Her big sister bosses her around; her mom makes her dog-sit Mr. Boots! the family's well-dressed Chihuahua; and she's convinced a strange and squishy swamp creature that lives down at the lake is eating high school kids. When no one believes her! Arlie and her best friend! Ty (yes! he's a boy! and no! he's not her boyfriend)! set out with Mr. Boots to stop the creature themselves -- because if they don't! half the school is going to end up as lakeside hors d'oeuvres!
