In the heart of a remote island fortress, Blackhawk and his multinational team launch a daring assault on the stronghold of the rogue warlord Fiendish, whose forces are far more formidable than expected. After a brutal aerial battle and a narrow escape through a hidden tunnel, the team discovers a labyrinth of stolen treasures and traps—only to be captured by Fiendish himself, who taunts them with their leader’s presumed death.
Jo and Rollo steal Colby High’s mascot, a goat named Mr. Butts, in a prank meant to get back at the school for draining their swimming pool—only to find themselves tangled in a series of escalating mishaps involving a suspiciously uncooperative goat, a nervous encounter with Professor Quizenberry, and a chaotic run-in with a police officer. As the goat’s unexpected talents become clear, Jo’s scheme spirals into an unlikely redemption when Mr. Butts proves to be a surprisingly effective weed destroyer, earning the approval of Myrna’s father and turning the tables on their prank.
