<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>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.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>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. <p/> 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!<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Emily Ecton is the author of <i>The Great Pet Heist</i> as well as a number of middle grade books published under the names Emily Ecton and Emily Fairlie. She is also a former writer and producer for "Wait, Wait...Don't Tell Me!," the Peabody Award­-winning comedy news quiz on NPR. She lives in Virginia, with Howdy, a law-abiding dog with no known criminal affiliations. Visit her at EmilyEcton.com.
