In Malsman Lake, Minnesota, weird is normal. But when the strange becomes dangerous, two fifth grade friends are the only ones who can save their town and maybe the world!
Best friends Sammie Stadler and Rahul Patil start investigating after their fifth grade classmate Dylan's house disappears. You'd think everyone would be shocked and worried about a disappearing house, but not in Malsman Lake. Dogs turn into Komodo dragons, cats sometimes live on the ceiling, and cotton candy has been known to make kids fly. When a portal to another dimension opens in Sammie's little brother's closet, she and Rahul must race to find a way to close the portal before an eggplant-shaped alien invades Malsman Lake and takes over the world!
