Publisher Description
The second adventure in this laugh out loud, middle grade series perfect for boys and girls!
FORMAT: 2 CDs, Unabridged
NARRATOR: Oliver Wyman
Fourth grader Scab McNally has a real quandary on his hands. He's convinced after he felt that hard tug on his fishing reel during the fishing expedition with his two best friends and new favorite companion, golden retriever Joe, that he glimpsed some kind of swamp creature. All Scab needs to do is get permission to go back out on Beeson's Lake with another fishing rod (and some special handcrafted dinosaur spying inventions, of course!) and he'll be able to find proof.
But before she'll let him back out on the water, Scab's mom insists that he pass the swimming class...

Quotes
-
“Scab McNally is back in this laugh-out-loud volume. With high energy and ingenious ideas, the ten-year-old skates (just barely!) through one sticky situation after another.”
— School Library Journal -
“[Scab’s] fast-paced first-person narration features punchy one-liners and revels in revolting gags to propel the unlikely events, though nuanced characterization reveals some complexity as Scab struggles for his peers’ acceptance. His flippant, comic voice resonates in his frequent journal lists…Another chuckle-inducing helping.”

-
" This was a mildly entertaining of a boy who often gets into trouble and who thinks that he nearly hooks a dinosaur while out fishing with his dog and two friends. I think this book would appeal mostly to boys who appreciate an occasional fart joke. "

" 3rd-4th grades Fourth grade inventor Scag McNally is in deep water (whixh by the way, happens to be the one thing he is deathly afraid of). "
