Book overview

The follow-up to the instant New York Times bestseller and Indie Next pick by author Drew Daywalt (The Day the Crayons Quit) and illustrator Mike Lowery continues the hilarious adventures of Sam the pug as he protects his family from suburban evil.

Sam the pug, the Peterson family's self-proclaimed "Human Being" and "chief security officer," faces his biggest challenge yet: his sidekick Meow can talk (thanks to Sam's "language lessons"), but now a mysterious mad bomber is after him. As Sam works to protect Meow, he must also uncover the truth about Justin's new friend Dean--who might just be a vampire--and save the neighborhood from a host of villains, including goblins, robots, and a chainsaw-wielding maniac (or so Sam thinks).

Packed with over-the-top humor, wacky illustrations, and Sam's own drawings and lists, this is a must-read for kids 7-10, reluctant readers, and anyone who loves a good dose of chaos and canine charm!
