K.I.D.S. Stuff: The Mostly, Probably True Adventures of the Kids Imaginary Defense Squad

Recipient of the LitPick Top Choice Book Award, K.I.D.S. Stuff is a hilarious, action-packed adventure with a heaping-helping of heart, well-suited for boys and girls ages 8-12. In the world of K.I.D.S. Stuff, kids have a big problem: adults can't see bogeymen. For that matter, they can't see monsters-under-the-bed, gnomes, snipes, pocket penguins or any other sort of mythical creature either. It's not really their fault, they're just grown-ups. They can't help it. But just because adults can't see bogeymen doesn't mean they're not dangerous. Somebody has to protect the world from the things that go bump in the night, and that's where the Kids Imaginary Defense Squad (K.I.D.S.) comes in. K.I.D.S. agents aren't born extraordinary. They aren't the sons of wizards, or the daughters of super spies. They aren't mutants, or aliens, or secret princesses. No, they're just ordinary, average kids who really should be in bed 'cause it's a school night, but instead they go out and save the world anyway. When bogeymen and other mythical creatures are lurking in closets and hiding under beds, the Squad is always close by, ready to defend the defenseless. Trained to be at the absolute peak of their physical and mental fitness, and armed with ingenious gadgets that only occasionally explode in their faces, the K.I.D.S. are ready for whatever maliferous meanies come their way. Do you have a thirst for adventure? Are you handy with a dodge ball or jump rope? Will your dad let us borrow his power tools? No? Darn. That's okay, you can still join the Squad... so long as you've got the guts.
