Description
Ben and Midge, two friends, notice mysterious crop circles appearing in the fields around Cansfield Farm. When they investigate the circles at night, they discover a secret laboratory where giant, mutating, flesh-eating jellyfish-like aliens are being kept. The friends must try to stop the aliens before they escape and cause danger to the surrounding area.
Quick Summary
Giant alien jellyfish hiding on a farm and turning farmland into a nightmare? This is the kind of weird, freaky science fiction that makes kids stay up past bedtime. Kids will geek out over the gross mutation details, The Monster at the Beach-on-the-loose tension, and two regular kids who actually figure out how to stop an alien invasion. If your kid likes the gross-out humor and alien mayhem of the Goosebumps series, they'll be hooked on Hydra. Perfect for kids in grades 4 through 6 who love creepy mysteries and science fiction with squirm-worthy monsters.
