Welcome to Wonderland #2: Beach Party Surf Monkey

By: Chris Grabenstein

Narrated by: Bryan Kennedy

“Outrageous hijinks and nonstop hilarity—five-stars!" —Lincoln Peirce, author of the Big Nate series

From the bestselling author of Escape from Mr. Lemoncello’s Library and coauthor with James Patterson of I Funny, House of Robots, and Treasure Hunters, comes the second hilarious, fun-in-the-sun adventure in his illustrated series about all the wacky things that happen when you live in a motel!

There’s always something wacky happening when you live in a motel, and P.T. (named after P. T. Barnum, of course) has grown up at the world’s wackiest! When word gets out that the hottest teen idols in Hollywood (plus current YouTube sensation Kevin the Monkey!) will be filming their next movie—Beach Party Surf Monkey—right in St. Pete’s Beach, Florida, P.T. and his friend Gloria know that the Wonderland would be the perfect location. Now they just have to convince the producers!

But when things start to go wrong (crazed fans? missing stars?), it will take all of Gloria’s business genius and P.T.’s wild stories to save the movie before both it and the Wonderland are all washed up!

BONUS: Includes fun extras like P.T. and Gloria’s Famous Fact-or-Fiction Quiz: Movie Edition

A book that never gets old!

I could listen to this book for the rest of time and not become bored of it. A truly amazing and funny book.

AMAZING

bet book ever! Had a lot of belly laughs😆 can't wait to read the next bok

Cute!

This book was a great follow up to the first one. We all enjoyed it! Couldn’t help but notice a certain neighbor sounded like a certain celebrity turned president. It sure added to the humor of the book for me (not that my boys picked up on that). The narrator did a great job and we will definitely be listening to the rest of the series!
