It's the summer break in Shadyside, Queens, and Team Pom's investigation into the mysterious organization called C. A. O. S, and its sinister boss Steve, have hit a dead end. Seeking a bit of inspiration, Roberta, Ruby and Agnes head to the Natural History Museum to spend time with Ruby's aunt, a de-extinction biologist in training who's just stumbled upon a precious sample of Dodo remains. But C. A. O. S. lurks in the shadows with Dodo schemes of their own! Can Team Pom foil Steve's plans in time to save the entire city? Can peanut butter really fight evil? Or is New York City finally going to the birds?

When oddballs Agnes, Roberta and Ruby discover a mutual passion for synchronised swimming, the trio form Team Pom. But between snack time, their favourite TV show and raising pigeons, it can be hard to find time to practice. Tired of their last place, loser status, a crew of self-proclaimed weirdos start their own synchronised swimming club. But on their way to gain the respect and free snacks they deserve, they stumble upon a lonely giant squid in their local pool. Will he be the secret weapon they need to propel them into synchronised swimming super stardom? Or will they end up with ink on their faces? Who are the villainous strangers in bowler hats? And, most importantly, what's for lunch? The first in this series and a debut comic book from award-winning Filipino illustrator Isabel Roxas, Squid Happens is a hilarious read that explores friendship, teamwork and what it means to be yourself.
