"Steven (Slim) Pickings is on the edge of a breakdown--but then, it always feels like Slim is teetering on the edge of something. The difference this time is that something's caused Slim's worries to come alive! He's set loose a bunch of annoying, pesky, outrageously contagious creatures--and they're infecting everyone they meet and massing to take over the town! Now Slim and the rest of the town are trailed by the things that annoy them most. Noisy Peeve, Lazy Peeve, Asking Peeve--they all stick with Slim at all times and left untreated, they're quickly getting worse and way, way more destructive. To stop them, Slim will have to do more than just team up with his family and friends--he'll have to face his fears, literally!"--Amazon.com.
