Billy Clikk - Creatch Battler

Billy thinks he's got a normal, boring life. He goes to school. He has a dog. To spice things up a little, he's into extreme sports. His parents are insect exterminators that are gone for periods of time on "skeeter gigs." One night, Billy is flipping through the tv channels when he notices a couple that look just like his parents being honored with a parade in the Philippines. A parade! The Philippines! What is going on? After some snooping around in his house, a phony phone call, and five men crashing in through his bedroom window, Billy finds out that his parents aren't really insect exterminators. They are agents for a secret organization called AFMEC, the Allied Forces for the Management of Extraterritoral Creatches. His parents are monster chasers. Turns out, there really are monsters, but there's an agreement that humans and monsters will live peacefully and seperately. However, some monsters don't follow the rules and that's when AFMEC steps in. Guess who wants to be AFMEC's newest junior agent? I'm sure another Billy Clikk book will soon follow... I'll be waiting.
