Synopsis

Otto and Sheed are back!

With their last otherworldly adventure behind them, cousins Otto and Sheed are definitely ready for things to get back to normal—or as normal as it can ever be in Logan County. But when Sheed develops a weird talent that makes it storm frogs,
Otto’s mom and Sheed’s dad are drawn back home, and things may never be the same. Especially with a suspicious company known as GOO sniffing around, seeking to acquire a bunch of property around the county for nefarious purposes.
It’s up to the Legendary Alston Boys of Logan County, the Ellison twins, Grandma, and the rest to save their town and keep their newly reunited family together before GOO destroys it all.

Sheed and Otto are cousins who live with their grandma in Fry, Virginia, where they (in friendly rivalry wit......more

Goodreads review by Yapha on October 12, 2021

In this third book about the Legendary Alstons (and the Epic Ellisons), the fate of their local community is once again in their hands! Otto's mom and Sheed's dad show up, putting an interesting twist on things. I was glad to see Wiki & Leen playing a larger role as well. My only criticism is that a......more
