Unhinged by A. G. Howard
The Surprise Attack of Jabba the Puppett by Tom Angleberger
In this much-anticipated sequel to Splintered, Jeb has taken centre stage in Alyssa’s life. Will she throw this all away and succumb to Morpheus, or will she stick with Jeb, graduate from school, and look after her mother, who has become overwhelmingly protective?
Dwight’s back, and not a moment too soon, as he and the gang face the FunTime Menace—a program designed to raise test scores— and Principal Rabbski, who is getting rid of all the actual fun parts of school. Not to mention coping with a surprise attack from Jabba the Puppett. Origami Yoda can’t work these miracles alone . . .
