Ooze in the Ocean (Spongebob Squarepants Mysteries #2)

SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star are back in David Lewman's Ooze in the Ocean, a new middle-grade mystery filled with ghosts, superheroes, and Bikini Bottom's most dangerous creatures!

Energetic and fast-paced with plenty of kid-friendly humor, the SpongeBob SquarePants Mysteries series is a great read for new and longtime fans of the hit TV series.

When a glowing green trail appears outside of the Shady Shoals Rest Home, retired superheroes Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy ask SpongeBob and Patrick to take on the case and figure out what the trail is.

Unfortunately for the two detectives, they are led through ship graveyards, underground tunnels, and ultimately into the nest of some of the most dangerous villains Bikini Bottom has ever been faced with!

​Featuring beautiful black-and-white chapter-heading illustrations by award-winning comics superstar and New York Times bestselling creator Francesco Francavilla.
