Monster Problems





The second book in the acclaimed Time Villains series follows Puerto Rican Javi and his friends as they try to stop Count Dracula from taking over their school

With Blackbeard banished from their present time, life has gone somewhat back to normal for Javi, his sister Brady, and his best friend Wiki. But Finistere’s principal takes an extended leave of absence, the new principal—Ms. Vlad—makes the school a million times less fun.

Just when things are looking bad, Ms. Vlad's old friend Mr. Dragon arrives and becomes the vice principal. The students love him and all seems well.

But Javi and Wiki soon grow suspicious that Mr. Dragon is actually Count Dracula in disguise. They soon learn that the Count is going to lead all the children to his castle, transform them into vampires, and take over the world. Yikes! Javi’s going to have to summon help if he’s going to stop Count Dracula before it’s too late.
