Beast Ballerz Series

Basketball meets monsters in the exciting second book in a hilarious middle-grade series for ages 10 and up by #1 New York Times–bestselling author Wesley King!

After kicking some serious vampiric butt in the tournament finals, the Prodigium Pugs are at an all-time high. Armed with Bax’s clever new strategies and a newfound burst of confidence, this unlikely beast ball team is suddenly a graveyard smash!

But when the Pugs’ resident vampire, Tom, begins acting strangely after an annual parental visitation day, Bax and the others start to see fractures in their close-knit group. And while the team is distracted by the infighting and arguments, their beloved mascot, Sir Mushy Face the Fatigued, is stolen right out of his opulent private quarters.

How can the Pugs thump the vampiric Chow Chows at the Royal School for Vampires without their mascot . . . who also happens to be a powerful charm that protects Prodigium and its students from harm? Welcome back to Prodigium Academy, where Diary of a Wimpy Kid meets Hotel Transylvania in this middle-grade series featuring ludicrous artwork, loads of humor and a monster-sized heart.

When eleven-year-old Baxter Brooks wakes up one morning with a sweet beard, he’s pumped. How many fifth graders get to sport cheek mittens in math class? It’s pretty much the greatest day of his life. 

What he first assumes is insta-puberty, escalates . . . rapidly. He grows fangs, people scream, he almost gives a cat a heart attack . . . it’s a total mess. When Bax gives his whole school a were-scare during a play, he’s shuttled off to an academy for misfit monsters . . . and into the zany world of beast ball. But if Bax wants to lead the long-suffering Pugs to triumph and solve the mystery of the Extremely Inconvenient Phantom, he’ll have to learn to embrace his hairy werewolf alter ego. Yes . . . even the ankle scarves.
