The Problims try to win the Corn Dog Carnival and rescue their missing mama in the second book in New York Times bestselling author Natalie Lloyd’s hilarious and clever series that’s perfect for fans of Jennifer L. Holm and Sharon Creech!

All siblings are capable of magic if they stick together. But trusting each other isn’t easy for the Problim siblings when neighbors like Desdemona and Carly-Rue O’Pinion are working double-time to turn the town against them.

From catapulting cattle to runaway corndogs to spiders on the pageant stage, the Problim brothers and sisters are blamed for every catastrophe at this year’s carnival. And to top it all off, Mama Problim is missing!

Can the seven siblings come together in time to save the carnival and rescue their mom from a villain even more dastardly than Desdemona Or will they discover too late what it truly means to be a Problim

Industry Reviews

"Lloyd hits her stride as she weaves--as intricately as Mona's beloved circus spiders--plot twists, humor, suspense, rivalry, hints of romance for the older Problims, and realistic development of Mona's character."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Both text and illustrations offer a nod to Roald Dahl's quirky, juvenile heroes and equally quirky, nasty villains. The distinctive flavor comes both from Lloyd's witty but succinct word mastery and from her unflagging imagination."--Kirkus Reviews
"Irreverent and delightful."--Publishers Weekly
Praise for THE PROBLIM CHILDREN: "Another heart-warming yarn centered on friendship and family."--Booklist (starred review)
