The Monster Hypothesis

By Romily Bernard

Book Overview

A spooky Southern mystery set in the town of Bohring--home to 453 people, 2053 alligators, and 1 monstrous curse.

Bohring is anything but boring for Kick Winter, who is now living there with her Grandma Missouri. Kick has already blown a hole through the kitchen floor, befriended a chicken-eating gator...and discovered that Bohring's 100-year curse is upon them--and all the kids are about to become monsters. Kick isn't worried, though. She knows there's a scientific explanation for everything, and as the new kid in school, she's determined to make a name for herself...by pretending to be psychic like her grandma. But when kids start disappearing and glowing creatures begin showing up, Kick's certainty quickly evaporates in a puff of foul-smelling swamp gas. Can she use her science smarts to prove this is all a hoax? Or is it possible that the curse is real? Find out in author Romily Bernard's funny, scientific, and perfectly eerie mystery
