Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Readers decide their own fate in the interactive middle grade Craniacs series inspired by collectible trading cards of the same name, from beloved and bestselling author R.L. Stine and the artist behind the Garbage Pail Kids, Joe Simko.

In this second book, a school field trip ends in a high-stakes game of cat and mouse with a dangerous beast. Includes awesome illustrations throughout!

When the ultra-futuristic planet Futerra and the Stone Age–style Retrovia smashed together, they formed one world with two very different populations who must find a way to live in peace. Their solution? The Chrome Dome, where danger is the name of the game and kids compete in wild and wacky challenges to settle domestic and interplanetary disputes.

The kids of Futerra and Retrovia are taking a break from Chrome Dome challenges to pile on the skull buses for a school trip to the skull dogs eating contest on Boney Island. By the end of the competition, every single skull dog on the island has been eaten. Unfortunately, the local beast, Rhinobino, loves snacking on skull dogs, and with none left, he’s ready for his second favourite food: Craniacs! Making it to safety means getting past other dangerous cranimals: saber-toothed hamsters, lava lizards, a Bonosaurus Rex, and more!

In each interactive book in the Craniacs series, it’s up to the reader to make the correct choices and outlive the competition. Good luck! You’ll need it.
