Holy Moley!
Jay
is having a serious problem. First, he loses the Tournament of Wonder, and
then, he loses his first-ever battle against Bully Frog of the Mutant
Guerrillas. And the fact that he has never lost a one-on-one battle before either
of those has depleted his confidence.
But that’s the least
of Jay’s problems. A mole monster
named Maximole has kidnapped Richard.
Everything gets worse when Jay and the
other Battlers are kidnapped by a bunch of other moles Maximole’s terrorized.
So now, if Jay and the others hope to
find Richard, they’ll have to help the
moles defeat Maximole. . . .
