Matt Sprouts is back for another laugh—out—loud adventure! It’s been a few months since Matt defeated “the Curse,” and if you thought that was bad, get ready to meet Matt’s latest challenge—Nora the goat.
After defeating “the Curse,” twelve—year—old Matt Sprouts just wants to chill—until Dad hands him an unusual summer job: pet—sitting a very peculiar goat named Nora who sports glassy eyes, a short tail, and a knack for mischief (she even eats a science fair project!). Between goat wrangling, soccer, cross—country, helping his girlfriend Grace with her science fair, and dodging a scary character named Jason, Matt discovers that relaxing is way harder than he thought.
