Dragon Squisher 2 is here!
The Crudge Whacker
Nigel’s back. And no one’s happy about it.
In a recent poll, the citizens of Amerigorn were asked who was the most-hated person of all time. Lord Smoron, that dark wizard who was responsible for two-thousand years of death and destruction,
came in second.
The Crudge Whacker tells the continuing adventure of the boy
who came in first.
Everyone hates Nigel. The humans and gorks want their amulet back and have declared open season on him in order to get it; his friends no longer want any part of his shenanigans; and his mom has kicked him out of the house.
If only he would destroy the dashed amulet, but Nigel is convinced he can use it for good. Unfortunately, his attempts at becoming a hero backfire, culminating in a disaster that threatens all life in Esteria.
Can Nigel save the world from himself? Find out in Dragon Squisher 2: The Crudge Whacker.
“The Crudge Whacker has all the hilarity and shenanigans of the first book, with even more heart. You’ll laugh, sigh, cringe, and roll your eyes in equal measure—and you’ll love every second of it. I’m already looking forward to more Nigel and the gang!”
—A.E. Kincaid, author of The Demon, The Hero, and The City of Seven

The dragon squisher
"Before I can begin my tale, you need to know about the king's panties."
So begins the epic adventure of 14-year-old Nigel, digger of latrines, shoveler of poop, and the single greatest threat to all the humans, elves, and halflings of Esteria.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Scott McCormick Bio
I published my first book, the graphic novel Mr. Pants: It’s Go Time, in 2014. It was a long time coming. I’ve wanted to be a professional writer for as long as I can remember. I didn’t always want to write children’s books—I first dreamed of writing for SNL—but I always loved writing things that made people laugh.
Before publishing my first book, I tried my hands at every kind of writing imaginable. I tried journalism, poetry, screenwriting, songwriting, advertising, you name it. But when I had kids of my own and began reading picture books, I knew writing for children was what I was meant to do. Even then, it took me about seven years to crack the code and get published.
Since publishing that first book, I have published three more Mr. Pants books as well as a slew of Audible Originals, including a YA fantasy novel called The Dragon Squisher, a series of five history books on Audible (The Rivals! series, with a fifth one coming out this year), and a contemporary MG comedy called Mutually Assured Detention (which was selected as a Best of Audible for 2022).
I’m also a musician, playing guitar, bass, ukulele, and piano. Some of my original songs have been published in various Audible Originals.
I live in North Carolina with my wife and kids and a dog named Maybe.
