About the book
When Joules and  Kevin Rockman’s parents drop them off at Camp Whatsitooya on their way  to an International Spamathon, the twins expect a summer of  marshmallows, campfires, and canoe trips. What they do not expect is to  defend the earth from an invasion of sugar-addicted, murderous,  seven-foot-tall rabbits from another galaxy. Happily, the Rockman twins,  veteran watchers of the Late, Late, Late Creepy Show for Insomniacs,  are unusually well-prepared for dealing with monstrous beings from  outer space. If only their fellow campers were so lucky.
Andrea Beaty, author of several very funny picture books and a mysterious novel, here reaches new heights of hilarity and verbal dexterity in a novel sure to become a camp—ba-dum-dum—classic.

The cover on this is a winner! I've been lugging my ARC from ALA Midwinter around on all my school visits since the copy I ordered for the library hasn't arrived yet. The kids always ask for this one!
