The Matt Sprouts Audiobook Collection: Books 1 and 2

Martial arts. Broken toes. Pesky curses. And … goat-sitting?! Discover all these adventures and more with Matt Sprouts, in this HILARIOUS collection from New York Times best-selling author Matt Eicheldinger!

Eleven-year-old Matt Sprouts is in big trouble. He didn't mean to hurt his neighbor Jenna with that awesome martial arts move—it just happened! Blame it on morning cartoons or Jenna's lack of coordination. Any­ways, getting grounded is the worst thing that could happen, right?

Wrong.

After the incident spirals into a series of downright unfortunate events, it's decided that Matt has contracted "the Curse," a hometown myth that has ruined the lives of middle schoolers before him. And as if the Curse weren't enough, entering sixth grade proves to be just as mysterious. Matt takes matters into his own hands. Now he just has to break the Curse . . . before all his bones break.

In book two, twelve-year-old Matt just wants to relax after dealing with “the Curse.” But Dad has another idea—Matt needs to “build some character,” whatever THAT means. So Matt ends up a pet sitting for his neighbor, Farmer Jed. Easy enough, right?

Well, not so much.

In fact, it’s downright baaaaaaad. The “pet” in question is Nora, an old goat with glassy eyes and short tail. While trying to keep track of Nora and all her mysterious actions, Matt is also helping his girlfriend Grace with her Science Fair project, attending both soccer and Cross-Country practice, and, oh yeah, trying to avoid some scary guy named Jason who seemingly wants to enact perilous revenge on young Matt. More on that guy later.

So much for "time to relax"! Enjoy this collection of books one and two in the acclaimed Matt Sprouts series.
