Secrets of Dripping Fang, Book Eight: When Bad Snakes Attack Good Children

Ten-year-old twins Wally and Cheyenne Shluffmuffin are trying to convince the FBI that giant ants are plotting to take over the world. FBI agent Cromwell believed them but he "disappeared" before he could tell anyone else so now Wally and Cheyenne decide to take a train to Quantico, the FBI place in Virginia. They need to be careful, the onts have sent yet another assassin after them, someone no one would ever expect to be a hired killer."When Bad Snakes Attack Good Children" is the eighth book in Dan Greenburg's "Secrets of Dripping Fang" series and it is one of the funniest books in the series. Greenburg outdoes himself with the humor in this book. The silliness starts with the chapter titles ("Snakes on a Train" is a good example). There are tons of funny scenes in the book and it is worth reading just for the chapter where Hedy is auditioning possible assassins - the chapter is laugh out loud funny. Also funny are the scenes with Professor Spydelle and his wife Shirley (a giant spider) finally deciding to adopt some children from Jolly Days Orphanage and a scene where Wally gets in trouble with a teacher. While most of the book is extremely funny, there is a scary scene on the train near the end of the book, which may traumatize younger readers."When Bad Snakes Attack Good Children" is a very funny entry in a delightful series for children.

My son loves these books..

My 9 year-old grandson really enjoys this series of books, so he is very pleased with the purchase of this book.

Received in fashionable time, in great condition. Nice to be able to finish the set. I found that my daughter really enjoyed the Dripping Fang series. Thanks!

This author came to visit our school 2 years ago and my son was hooked! It a great series for kids in the upper elementary grades.

My grandson loves it! He is planning to get the whole collection. I hope Amazon will have the following ones. It makes children's imagination to widen their limits!

wow, it was great, i really liked it because it was kind of funny as an old granny as a an assassin trying to kill the shluffmuffin twins as a bounty for the ont qwueen. I liked it because of the train affair with the snakes when wally shluffmuffin prevents the black mamba from killing them.

My son read this and was looking for book 9. He really didn't like the ending. He said he would give the beginning of the book 3 stars, the middle of the book 5 stars and the end of the book 0 stars.
