NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

"The story proves as cleverly witty as its title. It's filled with high jinks both terrorizing and hilarious." --USA Today

In 1977, four teenagers and a dog--Andy (the tomboy), Nate (the nerd), Kerri (the bookworm), Peter (the jock), and Tim (the Weimaraner)--solved the mystery ofSleepy Lake. The trail of an amphibian monster terrorizing the quiet town of Blyton Hills leads the gang to spend a night in Debo n Mansion and apprehend a familiar culprit: a bitter old man in a mask.

Now, in 1990, the twenty-something former teen detectives are lost souls. Plagued by night terrors and Peter's tragic death, the three survivors have been running from their demons. When the man they apprehended all those years ago makes parole, Andy tracks him down to confirm what she's always known--they got the wrong guy. Now she'll need to get the gang back together and return to Blyton Hills to find out what really happened in 1977, and this time, she's sure they're not looking for another man in a mask.

A mad scientist's concoction of H. P. Lovecraft, teen detectives, and a love of Americana, Edgar Cantero's Meddling Kids is a story filled with rich horror, thrilling twists, outright hilarity, and surprising poignancy.

  • The Scooby Gang is all grown up, and it's not going so well...

    Nicholas A. - 10 months ago

    Set in the 1990s, a group of juvenile detectives have grown up and reunited to finish the case that left them haunted. Witty one-liners and shout-outs to genre fandoms are peppered throughout as the disillusioned gang battles monsters, alcoholism and mental illness. Filled with booby traps, great friendships, a loyal pup and darn evil villains, this novel was everything I hoped it would be and more. As thrilling as it is fun, Meddling Kids is not to be missed!

  • They would have gotten away with it, too...

    Rachel S. - 4 years 2 months ago

    This book is as if the Scooby Doo gang all grew up. There are a lot of throwbacks to the old cartoon, making references to creeps wearing silly costumes and such. This story is about a group of kid detectives that years later got the group together to revisit one mystery that they feel remains unsolved. This book had a supernatural twist that I enjoyed. It's a quick read and a lot of fun.
