The Takedown of Team Tyrant

Kids’ Stories Book

By: Ayokunle Mathew Akinbi

Narrated by: Ashley Jordan Anderson

The playground is officially a "No-Fun Zone." Rex Rocket and his dreaded Team Tyrant have taken over. With their spotless red shirts and brand-new sneakers, they’ve created a list of ridiculous rules: the swings are for "VIPs only," the slide requires a "shiny object toll," and all unapproved kickballs are captured and locked away.

The playground, once a noisy, happy, wonderful mess, is now silent, clean, and totally boring. But Dean and his best friend, Brenda, have had enough. Refusing to let their playground be ruled by a bully, they form "The Super-Secret Takedown Club."

Their mission: Operation: Un-Tyrant. Their plan involves secret spies, a decoy dodgeball disaster, and two buckets of the gooiest, greenest, most disgusting slime imaginable. Their target is Team Tyrant's secret headquarters, the Fortress of Meanness. But when their slimy plan backfires and they're trapped inside, Dean and Brenda discover that Rex Rocket isn't just a simple bully. He has a secret of his own, one that's bigger, stranger, and much cleaner than they ever could have guessed.

Can Dean and Brenda use their wits (and their slime) to save the playground, or will they learn that the biggest takedowns sometimes happen in the most unexpected ways?
