A clever cat duo and a seriously sarcastic fish team up to defeat underwater thieves in this hilarious chapter book perfect for fans of Dav Pilkey and The Bad Guys.

Max and Milo are soon to be stars of the S.O.S. Academy. Their next big mission: search the ocean for the culprits who stole a powerful energy crystal. All signs point to the red-lipped batfish—tiny but terrifying creatures known for deploying drones and giant robot spider crabs on their enemies. But Max and Milo are no scaredy cats! Together with their snarky fish friend Judy, they’ll travel to the criminal headquarters to put an end to the batfish's evil plan. Will they be victorious? Judy is skeptical. But the fate of the ocean tides depends on their heroics.

This fast-paced, highly illustrated adventure will have young readers hooked as they root for their favorite ocean heroes in this laugh-out-loud chapter book full of wonderfully weird sea creatures.
