The demon ate their parents. They intend to get them back.

Jonah Hutchins didn't think twice about finding a salmon in a puddle in his backyard. He already had a dapper troll lurking in his basement and a snarky harpy roosting in the trees out front, after all. He didn't even flinch when the fish named Stuart announced that several nearby puddles were portals to other dimensions.

But a demon also lurked in Stuart's puddle—and it swallowed Jonah's parents whole.

Jonah and his sister Debbie refuse to let the demon make them orphans. So they gather Jonah's strange friends and plunge through the puddles into the worlds beyond on a wild rescue mission.

They discover wondrous places like a cardboard kingdom where spilled water could end everything and a crumbling world full of ghosts and mouths. They meet weird new allies, including a massive plastic dragon and an octopus-headed prophetess. But the demon is still hungry, and it won't stop until it devours them all.

This book combines the awestruck adventure of Impossible Creatures with the dark, hungry dread of Coraline. It is a celebration of the imagination's power and a whirlwind ride you won't soon forget.

Welcome to The Fish in Jonah's Puddle. Are you ready?
