The Lovecraftian monsters invade the worlds of The Transformers and G.I. JOE in Infestation 2! It's a steam-punk world in the grips of panic as terrifying beings from the depths of the ocean corrupt both humans and Decepticons! Meanwhile, Cobra has always had a penchant for dark experiments. This time they've gone too far and opened a portal to a realm of violence and madness! As squadron after squadron of Cobra Vipers falls under the thrall of the Elder Gods there seems no way to stop the hideous transformations that are taking place. Can Snake Eyes stop it?

In this “creepy-crawly…easy to get lost in” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) second book in the Whispering Pines middle grade series, Rae and Caden take on flesh-eating centipedes that may be alien in nature—perfect for fans of Stranger Things! Caden’s brother Aiden is many things: clever, powerful, vindictive. Unforgiving. And now, he’s also mysteriously free from the hellish dimensional prison that Caden had trapped him in. Caden is sure that Aiden is out for revenge, but since his parents refuse to see the danger when it comes to his brother, he’ll have to find a way to survive on his own. Meanwhile, Rae, freed from the threat of the eye-snatching, monstrous Unseeing, has once again turned all her focus toward finding her missing father. She believes the town’s shady alternative energy company, Green On!, might have the information she seeks, so she joins their internship program to get answers. Unfortunately, this means sacrificing her friendship with Caden, who wants nothing to do with Green On! or anyone associated with it. When a special assignment from Rae’s internship leads her to uncover an infestation of giant, flesh-eating centipedes that may be alien in nature, she needs to convince Caden to help her get rid of them. The two friends must learn to work together again, because this time, it’s not just Whispering Pines’s fate that hangs in the balance, but the world’s.

"When otherworldly forces descend on their town of Whispering Pines, conspiracy theorist Rae, who's searching for her lost father, and Caden, who's haunted by the ghost of his brother, must band together to save their home"--Provided by publisher.

The balance of magic has been tipped, and cosmic prisons are no longer capable of containing the Elder Gods. H.P. Lovecraft's nightmares-made-real are attacking all known universes, causing untold destruction. Between these colossal terrors and total destruction stand unsuspecting combatants--Team C.V.O. (Covert Vampire Operations), the blood-sucking vampires of 30 Days of Night, and the unlikely duo of Bat Boy and Archibald, former Groom Lake inhabitant.

Pamela Wharton Blanpied provides an introduction to modern dragons, covering their basic anatomy, habits, recreation, preferences in food, and their legendary lust for treasure.
