Illustrated by Tedd Arnold, whose Fly Guy series is a kid favorite, this graphic novel is perfect for comic fans and reluctant readers, with short, funny chapters following Mac and Mac through ridiculous adventures. . .
But when their friend Meatball offers to trade them a handful of firewood seeds, the gullible brothers can\'t foresee what will happen next.
