Description:
In the late 80s, a toxic spill rendered your local mall too hazardous to occupy--or at least, that's what your parents told you. In reality, the spill was the work of Vaaldrant, a warlock from another dimension who's been transforming mall employees into horrifying supernatural creatures ever since. You and your friends decide to film a video for your vlog channel, but when you meet up at the entrance, you find that your friend Drea is missing! Will you delve into the depths of the mall to rescue Drea from Vaaldrant? Or will his team of mutant mall workers get you first? With all the gooey gross-out chaos of a classic Nickelodeon game show and the high-stakes magical mayhem of a first-class Dungeons and Dragons game, this poltergeist-packed page-turner will keep readers coming back again and again until they've found every good - or grisly - end!!

He believes that the only way to keep his place on the farm and in the heart of his human, Esperanza, is to maintain perfection in all his responsibilities--and nothing less. But when a tropical storm turns the creek by the farm into a raging river and scatters Cloe, Nando's favorite young human; Stella, a friendly beagle; Oscar, the farm's annoying cat; and Nando himself, Nando learns the hard truth: He can't control everything. Stranded far from home, Nando is rescued by Levi, a boy with a brave heart and a gift for seeing good in others, who was also displaced by the storm. Nando and Levi are both trying to get back home, but when Levi leashes Nando, he leaves the independent herding dog with little choice but to stick with him. As they face rising waters, dangerous terrain, and the uncertainty of finding their way back, Levi offers Nando courage, friendship, and love, teaching Nando that he doesn't have to be perfect to be loved and accepted.
