Synopsis

This wet, wild, and hilariously illustrated story from a New York Times bestselling author takes readers on a wacky adventure that spirals out of control as soon as our pet hero discovers a narwhal hanging out in his bedroom. Rex Dexter is cursed … with brains … and daring … and more than his fair share of devilish good looks. But also with an actual curse: dead animals keep showing up in his bedroom, wanting him to solve their murders. After successfully sleuthing a series of endangered animal assassinations, Rex is pretty sure he’s home free, spiritually speaking. But that’s when he finds a two thousand pound narwhal in his beanbag chair. And this tough guy is dead. And super crabby about it. Fishy business is at hand. And as if that’s not bad enough, Rex’s mom has a stressful new job. His new teacher may be part of a Russian hit squad. His best friend Darvish is distracted by a role-playing game. And, horror of horrors, Rex may accidentally have a girlfriend. Rex Dexter is neck-deep in dead pet problems. And he’s determined to solve them. Or let his best friend Darvish die trying.

Goodreads review by Sharla

Rex, Darvish and Drumstick return in this sequel. Instead of recently departed zoo animals seeking Rex's help, this book features creatures of the sea. Reading this book reminded me of taking my children to see a Disney movie when they were small: they were amused by the obvious kid humor and oblivi......more

Goodreads review by B.C.

I am really loving the Rex Dexter books! The second installment doesn’t stray too far from the framework of the first: wisecracking, overconfident Rex must solve the mystery of the deaths of two animals whose ghosts look to him for help. As with the first, the mystery is merely a vehicle for Reynold......more
