Fred and Anthony have life goals and those goals involve eating Pez and a lot of Chex Mix and getting other people to do their work for them. Their lives are made miserable by Mr. Bomzie, their fourth-grade history teacher, who is constantly assigning historical projects that involve Q-tips, paper plates or sugar cubes.
Life looks up when the boys find their true destiny: to rid the world of the OCSDD Ghost. Deep in the dank recesses of Maniac Towers lie the evil geniuses of The Netherworld. Adventure and humor reside there as well.

Fred and Anthony may have escaped the evil dentist, Dr. Nietsneknarf -- but they never did finish their horrible hideous history project. So when the boys fail the class, they figure the only way to convince their diabolical teacher, Mr. Bomzie, to change their grades is to catch the mysterious OCD Ghost who is wrecking havoc--not to mention squeaky-cleaning houses all over town.
While they're at it, they figure they can earn extra dough by ghost-busting some condos on the other side of the tracks. But when the boys end up at Maniac Towers, they discover to their horror that it is the home of many Netherworld denizens, including the Giant Slimy Snot-Sandwich-Eating Fungus Blob and the Demented Super-DeGerm-O Zombie from Maniac Towers.---from the publisher
