Book Description
The EMU Club is called into action again when they realize that the school janitor is an evil ghost trying to disrupt the flow of time! "There's no mystery--the EMU Club is a hit! This is a fun, funny adventure that kids will love to read." --Lincoln Peirce, author of Big Nate "The EMU Club inhabits exactly the world I always hoped to live in when I was 12, when the answer to questions like 'Where did I put my toy' led to inevitably to alien conspiracies and secret underground tunnels. A book for the curious and the adventurous!" --Cory Doctorow, author of Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom and Little Brother. "An adventure so funny you'll think it couldn't be true--but if it isn't true, then where did all those realistic-looking photographs come from? You'd better read this so you'll know what to do when the world ends." --Adam Rex, author of The True Meaning of Smekday My name is Stuart Tennemeier, and I'm the President of the EMU Club (Exploration-Mystery-Unbelievable Club). This is my report of our second mission. Once you've solved one great mystery involving alien cats and a robotic dog, how do you find a second one that is just as awesome to solve? Not huge crimes or weird stuff, but everyday mysteries that happen to everyone, like why does time seem to pass more slowly right before school ends? And at other times, like when you're watching your favorite TV show it seems to pass really quickly? There are tons of little mysteries all around us. Sometimes if you look really, really, closely at them, you find out some amazing, incredible things. And you just might save the world.

Book Description
Cartoonist Ruben Bolling's oddball strip, Tom the Dancing Bug, makes waves on a weekly basis.

Here are just a couple headlines from the quirky strip's News of the Times: o?= Computer Loses to Human Candy Land Champion: Despite progress made in developing a computer program that can defeat a human chess champion, computer scientists confess that they have been unable to launch a significant challenge to human supremacy in the game of Candy Land.o?= Scientists Discover Media Has Quantum Effect on Reality: A team of physicists discovers that an electron is in an uncertain state until the media report on it. For example, once an electron was measured and reported upon by Mary Hart on the Celebrity Corner segment of Entertainment Tonight, it instantly assumed its nature as a particle.Tom the Dancing Bug's client list is diverse, representing the breadth of contemporary journalism: alternative newspapers, such as Dallas Observer and the Village Voice; prestigious daily newspapers, including the Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times; Salon.com, an acclaimed online magazine; and the New Yorker magazine.
