Wendell “Waffles” Wyler and his grandfather return in a second madcap homage to B-movie monster films.

The book opens with a recap of the events fromThe Monstrous Adventures of Mummy Man and Waffles (2024), making this sequel accessible to new fans. Grandpa Wendell, formerly a special effects and makeup artist for “spooky movies,” kept props and models stored in his Shriekport, Maine, basement until a flood led to the activation and unfortunate release of the monsters. Now the dastardly Doctor Gargo has reconstituted himself and escaped with the Brain and the Measle Weasels in tow, headed to Hollywood to unleash more nefarious monsters on the world. Traveling via Monster Car, our heroes follow a trail of red polka dots left by the Measle Weasels on a cross-country road trip to fend off disaster. Medusa joins Grandpa, Waffles, Tanya (Waffles’ best friend), and the earnest Mummy Man and his pet turtle, Frank, on the race to intercept Doctor Gargo and stop his nefarious plan. Encounters en route with the Hoboken Werewolf, the Tornado With a Face, and other creatures threaten the mission. The result is a funny, breathless series of challenges for the motley crew before nearly everything turns out okay in the end (with a setup for the next adventure). The human characters read white. Final art not seen.

Broad comedy, full of monsters and lighthearted fun. (recipe)(Humor. 8-11)
