The Handy Helpers

About the Book

It’s summer, and all Spike wants to do is go fishing with his friends, but his parents keep loading him up with chores. To make matters worse, his sister Jennifer’s boyfriend, Todd, seems to be making it his personal mission to ruin Spike’s summer. Spike fights back in his usual way—with sneaky pranks. While trying to get even with Todd, Spike accidently pranks the mayor. Ordered to do community service, Spike thinks his fun is over. That’s when a new adventure begins with helping Gus build a forest trail and ends with a daring night rescue of two small children from a forest fire.
