Twins Wally and Cheyenne Shluffmuffin return for more adventures as they try to block the Ont (giant ant) Queen's invasion. The twins, their vampire father, and their allies are threatened by assassins, child-eating ghouls, and killer octopuses, but Greenburg's exaggerated action and often-disgusting humor soften the dangerous encounters. Fans will enjoy these, though the gross-out factor is frequently intense. Review covers these titles: Secrets of Dripping Fang: Book Eight, Secrets of Dripping Fang: Book Seven, and Secrets of Dripping Fang: Book Six.
