About the Book

During their exciting adventure, the boys experience all sorts of things for the first time, but perhaps the most fun is a gigantic pillow fight in their hotel room that quickly turns into an all-out nerf war.

After conquering two teams from Germany and Poland, the boys are crowned the international nerf war champions for their age group and are given a memorable recognition ceremony.

Upon returning home to the United States, a very special surprise awaits them that proves to change their young lives forever.
