Having seen off the Evil once, they now look set for another round of adventures as a new threat is posed when the Monster of Portland appears. A fast paced adventure in which the unbelievable happens!
Jack and Jaide Shield are determined to discover more about what it means to be a troubletwister, but their special powers remain untamed! Even troubletwisters have to go to school, but the twins remain vigilant for any sign of the Evil returning to Portland.
