In the first installment of National Book Award winner M.T. Anderson's
Pals in Peril series, a madman has unleashed an army of stilt-walking,
laser-beaming, thoroughly angry whales upon the world! Luckily, Jasper
Dash and his friends Katie Mulligan and Lily Gefelty are around to save
the day.
Sure, Lily Gefelty is just an average twelve-year-old girl. But her
dad--a normal-enough-seeming guy--just so happens to work for an evil
genius who plans to unleash an army of extremely cranky, stilt-walking,
laser-beam-eyed whales upon the world.
Lucky for Lily, her two best friends are anything but average. Both of
them are famous for their adventures. Jasper Dash, Boy Technonaut,
invents gadgets; Katie Mulligan spends her spare time fighting off
zombies and were-goats. Surely they'll know what to do. And if they
don't? Then it will be up to Lily--average, everyday Lily--to come up
with a plan.
