 Chris Grabenstein is a hit with my middle school students, and I have to admit, I'm quite a fan myself! 
 Beach Party Surf Monkey is the second book in the Welcome to Wonderland series, and it is as adorable, goofy, and adventurous as the first. This time around, P.T. and Gloria's latest scheme to save the Wonderland Hotel involves getting producers to use the property to shoot their movie- but in true Wonderland style, nothing goes smoothly. What would be the fun in that! :) 
 Fans will definitely be pleased, and readers who are new to the series can jump right into the fun. 
 Thanks to Netgalley and Random House Books for Young Readers for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
