About this book
During a neighborhood egg hunt, a kid stumbles on a strange, warm egg that definitely didn’t come from a chicken. Soon there are more eggs—and what hatches is slimy, squishy, and out of this world. As odd things start happening around town, he has to figure out what the creatures want and who to trust. Fast-paced, creepy-funny moments and classic Goosebumps twists make this a hit for readers who like aliens, slime, and mild scares.
Setting: contemporary suburban town and a mysterious lab
