His father, a data analyst for Nutella whose real job is to pinpoint terrorists, is clueless about humans in real life. His brilliant brother, called IQ in public and Robin Hood in the hackersphere, has his back but is ever busier training his robot. His grandfather, a retired anarchist-guerilla-turned-nematologist, chides him for misbehaving when he takes him hunting for worms. Meanwhile, his Buddhist beekeeper mother, ordinarily his closest confidante, has been in a coma ever since a terrible car accident.Just when the family?s survival in their converted chicken coop seems most precarious, someone?or something?new enters his life: Bug. This self-declared "fast friend" seems to know all about his family and has some creative, if not strictly legal, ideas about how to help.…

Hardback. Condition: Good. Bug Blonsky is back, making mischief at camp, tracking Bigfoot, and entertaining readers with another madcap list: his "unofficial" Swamp Scout Survival guide. In an uproarious follow-up to Bug Blonsky and His Very Long List of Dont's, Bug takes early chapter book readers along on a weekend Swamp Scout trip. At Camp Win-Kee-Noo, you can earn merit patches for "paying attention" and "following directions," but not for any of the things Bug excels at--stuff like armpit farting and being wiggly. As a True Bigfoot Believer, the only patch Bugs wants on his Swamp Scout vest is the Curious Creature patch for spotting an odd or uncommon animal. Know-it-all Abner insists that if Bigfoot were real, he would be listed in the "Terrible Things to Avoid" section of their official Swamp Scout survival guide. Leave it to Bug to write his own guide, jam-packed with tips and tricks for making the most (mischief) out of camp . . . plus a few startling discoveries. Funny, irreverent, fast-paced, and packed with comic illustrations, Bug's second outing will keep young readers in stiches (and possibly out of poison ivy). Redmond, E.S. (illustrator).…
