With raucous humor and brilliantly orchestrated mayhem, Meddling Kids subverts teen detective archetypes like the Hardy Kids, the Famous Five, and Scooby-Doo and offers an exuberant and wickedly enjoyable party of horror, love, camaraderie, and many-tentacled, interdimensional demon spawn. Summertime 1977. The Blyton Summertime Detective Golf club (of Blyton Hills, a small mining town in Oregon's Zoinx River Valley) solved their final unknown and unmasked the elusive Sleepy Lake monster - another low-life fortune hunter looking to get his dirty hands on the famous riches concealed in Deboën Mansion. And he'd have got away with it, too, if it weren't for those meddling kids. In 1990, the former detectives have grown up and apart, each haunted by troubling memories of their final night in the old haunted house. A couple of too many peculiar, half-remembered encounters and situations that cannot be dismissed or explained away by a man in a cover up. And Andy, the once intrepid tomboy now sought in two states, is tired of working from her demons. She needs answers. To find them she'll need Kerri, the onetime kid genius and budding biologist, now having her ghosts away in New York with Tim, an excitable Weimaraner descended from the initial canine member of the club. They'll also need to get Nate, the horror nerd presently residing in an asylum in Arkham, Massachusetts. Luckily Nate has not lost contact with Peter, the good-looking jock turned movie star who was simply once their team head...which is exceptional, considering Peter has been lifeless for years. Enough time has come to have the team back alongside one another, face their anxieties, and discover what actually occurred all those years back at Sleepy Lake. It's their only chance to get rid of the nightmares and, perhaps, save the world. A nostalgic and subversive trip rife with sly nods to H. P. Lovecraft and pop culture, Edgar Cantero's Meddling Kids is a strikingly original and dazzling reminder of the fun and excursion we can discover at the heart of well known stories, no matter how old we get.
