Night of the Living Toilet Paper (Alien Survival Guide)
Marv and his friends are back in this exciting sequel to I Know What UFO Did Last Summer. Will they be able to stop a new threat to their town?
A few months have passed since Marv and his friends stopped what he believes was an extraterrestrial plot to take over the planet. But he’s not letting his guard down. If there’s one thing Marv knows, it’s that aliens could attempt another invasion at any time.

Triggers: Fantasy violence, strangulation, combustible pranks, and the horrifying image of toilet paper coming to life
What Did I Just Walk Into?
A sequel where the real villain is not aliens, not the government, not even a rogue motorcycle. It is toilet paper. Animated, alien-controlled, town-destroying toilet paper. Marv is back on guard duty, dragging his friends into yet another round of “save Roxboro, Delaware before bedtime.” With the addition of Kenji, a pyromaniac prankster, the squad now has firepower to match the two-ply menace. It is ridiculous in the best Goosebumps-meets-Stranger Things way.
Here’s What Slapped:
- The humor is spot on. You cannot read about killer toilet paper without laughing.
- The survival guide excerpts before each chapter are a brilliant touch. Conspiracy-theory chic for kids.
- Each character gets a moment to shine. Nora’s mechanical skills, Jace’s steady presence, Kenji’s fire obsession, and Marv’s chaotic alien paranoia all pull their weight.
- The pacing is quick, the action constant, and the climax is a messy, fiery, Charmin-fueled showdown.
What Could’ve Been Better:
- The plot feels smaller than book one. Less globe-trotting mystery, more “neighborhood cleanup on aisle TP.”
- Marv’s obsession with aliens is funny, but still no deeper dive into why he is this way. The kid needs a therapist as much as a survival guide.
- I wanted more of the town’s reaction. If my toilet paper came alive, I would never step foot in a bathroom again.
Perfect for Readers Who Love:
- Middle grade sci-fi that leans silly instead of scary
- Goosebumps-style “horror” with a wink
- Teamwork, friendship, and fire as valid solutions to alien invasion
