After bravely defeating Crumple Monster and its Noodle Monster minions, Eric “Doodles” King thinks life might finally be ready to return to normal. But when King Neptune finds a way to make more magic ink and create a monster more powerful than anyone has ever battled before, it’s going to take all Doodles’s courage, talent, and friends to save New York from total destruction. From the award-winning screenwriter-director Darren Aronofsky, Lance Rubin, and Ari Handel comes the second book in the thrilling new adventure series, Monster Club!

Ever since Eric “Doodles” King and his friends saved Coney Island from Crumple Noodle and its minions, Eric’s life has been changing faster than he ever expected. His parents’ divorce has gone through, his mom has moved to a deluxe apartment in Manhattan, and now she’s making him start all over at a fancy new private school. Suddenly Eric’s trapped between two worlds—his old Coney Island friends and the rich, cool kids at his new school who treat him like a celebrity. 

At least his days of epic monster battles are behind him, he thinks. But what Eric doesn’t realize is that the magic mermaid ink that brought his drawings to life hasn’t been destroyed like he thought. Quite the opposite: King Neptune has found a way to use the last remaining drops to create a new class of creatures perfectly designed to put New York City right back where it belongs—underwater.

Now it’s up to Eric to rally Monster Club again and find a way to bring back Brickman, BellyBeast, SkeleGurl, DecaSpyder, and RoboKillz so they can stop Neptune before it’s too late.

Monster Club: Monsters Take Manhattan is the second epic, heart-pounding adventure from award-winning screenwriter, director, and author Darren Aronofsky, Ari Handel, and Lance Rubin about growing up, learning your limits, and facing down your fears.
