This had a bit of gross-out humor but some heart as well. Doom and his sister Disaster bump heads when it comes to leadership styles. Doom is more logical and cares about books while his sister is headstrong and direct. He and a ragtag group of monster-like kiddies have to survive until their parents come back. The usual hijinks ensue with Doom being thrust into the leader role, but I liked the twist with the ending. 

Ending spoiler:

instead of Doom growing into the leader role, the group chooses a counsel/group of leaders. It’s a nice message that everything shouldn’t always depend on one person. 
I also legit thought Eisenhower had died. I was like that’s a little spicy for a kid’s book, but it gave the story a real consequence/ Until it got recanted.
