“Melonhead and his friends inhabit a world . . . where inventiveness and camaraderie reign supreme.” —Kirkus Reviews For fans of Judy Blume’s Fudge titles as well as Carl Hiaasen’s Hoot.Money. That’s what Melonhead and his best friend, Sam, need. Due to a “situation,” the boys have to pay for something they accidentally ruined.

With teamwork and the courage to dream big, the kids surprise even themselves and deliver amazing results.
