Synopses & Reviews
Fourth-grade inventor Scab McNally is in deep water (which, by the way, happens to be the one thing he's deathly afraid of). After a trip to the local fishing hole with his best buddies
Doyle and Will -- and his best doggy companion Joe -- Scab is certain he's discovered a prehistoric swamp creature living in the lake. Of course, nobody's going to believe his crazy story unless he can prove it. But how?
Scab's water woes continue when his mother insists he take an advanced swimming class with his "smart times ten" twin sister, Isabelle, before she'll let him go on any more fishing trips. That means he's got to master swimming in the deep end of the pool before he can embark on more secret fact-finding missions, and Scab is NOT ready for that! So it's back to the top-secret lab for some serious scheming and inventing. Will any of Scab's wild plans go awry? Well, it wouldn't be any fun if they didn't, would it?
