The Expets 2: The Skunk Who Challenged the World! -- Mark Tatulli, Hardcover

Perfect for fans of Captain Underpants and Dog Man, this second book in the hilarious middle grade graphic novel series eXpets follows the super-team as they try to thwart a conniving kitty's dastardly plan.

When Professor Foozypinz looks out his enormo'scope at the moon, the last thing he expects to see is a ginormous evil...kitten?! And yikes, she's ready to wreak havoc on Earth and is heading straight for New Jersey!

This definitely looks like a job for the eXpets! Mr. Turtle quickly calls in Ginormous Gerbil, Wonder Guppy, Laser-Eye Kitty, and Stanky Dog. The pets are on the case, but it turns out the only way to save the day is to get KittyKahKah's evil collar away from her--and for that they need to team up with the expert on evil collars, a.k.a. their nemesis the Skunk! (Well, that sure stinks!).

Just when Stanky Dog and Laser-Eye Kitty think they've got Skunk all figured out, he ends up double crossing them. Now the eXpets are divided, and time is ticking as KittyKahKah gets ever closer to Jersey City. Can the super-critters unite in time to save the day?
