“Outrageous hijinks and nonstop hilarity—five-stars!" —Lincoln Peirce, author of the Big Nate series
From the bestselling author of Escape from Mr. Lemoncello’s Library and coauthor with James Patterson of I Funny, House of Robots, and Treasure Hunters, comes the second hilarious, fun-in-the-sun adventure in his illustrated series about all the wacky things that happen when you live in a motel!
There’s always something wacky happening when you live in a motel, and P.T. (named after P. T. Barnum, of course) has grown up at the world’s wackiest! When word gets out that the hottest teen idols in Hollywood (plus current YouTube sensation Kevin the Monkey!) will be filming their next movie—Beach Party Surf Monkey—right in St. Pete’s Beach, Florida, P.T. and his friend Gloria know that the Wonderland would be the perfect location. Now they just have to convince the producers!
But when things start to go wrong (crazed fans? missing stars?), it will take all of Gloria’s business genius and P.T.’s wild stories to save the movie before both it and the Wonderland are all washed up!
BONUS: Includes fun extras like P.T. and Gloria’s Famous Fact-or-Fiction Quiz: Movie Edition

This is the second book in the Wonderland series by Chris Grabenstein, and you don't want to miss it! P.T has found out that a new movie is going to need a place to shoot, and he knows just the place: His home, or motel! All he needs to do is convince the producers to shoot it there! Only problem is, the business next door wants the publicity, and they are trying to steal the movie production away from P.T into their own hotel! Well, P.T also needs the publicity for more customers, and he knows the right person to help him, his own friend Gloria! Gloria is a financial whiz and together, they make the perfect team! With both kids collaborating plans to get the producers to shoot the movie at his mom's motel, what could go wrong. You know, except people trying to steal the spotlight and become better than P.T.
