Benedict Barnabas vs the Ballistic Banshee

All Ben wants is a normal life.

Friends? Check. Football? Check. Pizza and scary movies on Friday nights? Double check. As a logical, level-headed seventh grader, Ben has everything figured out. Monsters aren’t real. Magic doesn’t exist. And life in his quiet neighborhood is perfectly, wonderfully boring.

Then the monsters show up.

First in the shadows of his street. Then lurking in the school hallways. Finally, they invade his home — and they take his older sister.

Not just any sister. The meanest, most self-absorbed, life-ruining sister imaginable. The kind of sister who has turned making Ben’s life miserable into an art form. A calling, really. She’s that good at it.

When the Ballistic Banshee and her monstrous crew drag her into their world, Ben is faced with the most complicated question of his twelve-year existence: Should he actually save her?

The choice should be easy.

So why isn’t it?

Armed with nothing but his logic, his loyalty, and a desperate need to get back to normal, Ben must venture into a world where nothing makes sense and everything wants to eat him. He’ll need to outsmart creatures that shouldn’t exist, survive challenges that defy reason, and make the hardest decision of his life.

Because being a hero is complicated — especially when you’re not sure the person you’re saving deserves it. Then again, sometimes, family is worth fighting for. Even when they make you absolutely, completely, one-hundred-percent crazy.
