Book Description

The hugely popular early chapter book series re-emerges with a new look! Brand-new eye-catching cover art brings a modern feel to this classic monster series for young readers.

The Bailey School kids join Eddie's grandmother at the motorcycle races where they get to know Jessie, a mysterious motorcycle rider. But as the kids learn about Jessie -- she loves the sea, knows all about sea monsters, is dripping wet whenever she appears, and is the cousin of Nessie, a woman the kids were certain was the Loch Ness Monster -- they get suspicious. If Jessie wins the grand prize, she's going to build a seaside resort where Eddie's grandmother will move -- and she'll take Eddie with her! Can the kids stop Jessie from winning and keep Eddie in Bailey City where he belongs?

This review is from: Sea Monsters Don't Ride Motorcycles (The Adventures of the Bailey School Kids, #40) (Paperback)

It was very entertaining. I always like it when they are going to solve the mystery when the weird adult leaves and they can't finish the mystery.

Eddie, Melody, Howie, and Liza get to go to a motorcycle race. Eddie sees a mototrcycle called the Monster. Howie thinks there is something fishy going on. He thinks that the rider on the Monster is a sea monster. Will the Sea Monster take over Bailey City and have its revenge trying to find her sister? Will she make Eddie's grandma move in with her and die? Or will Eddie's grandma go to her own house with Eddie? If the sea monster moves away then Bailey City will be fine. This book is really good and you should read it to find out what happens in the end.
