Description
With Bigfoot safely stashed in their basement, Maddie, Max, and Theo Mattigan are off to Las Vegas with their dad. His plan is to prove there are no aliens on the loose there.
But now that his kids know Mysterious Monsters are real, they're making plans of their own. They'll need clever disguises, a well-hidden walkie-talkie—and more than a few broken eggs—to find out once and for all what's hidden in the notorious Area 51.

Thank you to Netgalley for the chance to read and review this title.
The Mattigan family is off on another adventure! This time to debunk the existence of J-Rod, an escaped alien from Area 51. While Marcus Mattigan is off to Area 51 to meet Colonel Michael Blanchard to prove the disappearance of the base’s missing alien is false, the children head off on their adventure to rescue J-Rod themselves. With big sister Maddie acting as group leader, the twins Max and Theo go on an adventure that includes a Las Vegas casino, an alien convention, and a fifth-wheel camper.
There is just enough sibling squabbling to keep the dialogue real and just enough suspended belief to allow the story to work. Kids running loose in a Vegas casino? A child hiding out in the camper while Dad drives to the secret military base? It’s just kooky enough to keep kids interested. The interactions between the siblings were just right-not too sweet and not too snarky. This was a fun read for kids who are just starting out with chapter books and doesn’t contain any offensive language or violence.
