Barman and his inseparable monkey pal, Chester, are called to war when Barman's dad, Pops, orders Barman to mow the lawn. Their seemingly ordinary chore suddenly becomes a serious crisis when they realize their grass looms above the call of regular duty.
Barman and Chester conclude the situation calls for desperate measures and turn to the internet to research viable options. As usual, they improve on standard methods to ensure the job gets done with style.
However, little do they anticipate that their inventiveness will suddenly be tested to the max when they discover intruders threatening their way of life! When they declare war, samurai-style, much more than Barman and Chester's yard comes under fire. Will their yard and long-suffering neighbors withstand the attack, or fall?
Coming November 2026.
Book 1
Barman and his inseparable monkey pal, Chester, face an intense crisis when Barman's dad, Pops, sulkily declares he is "exceedingly old"! Devastated he hasn't yet done everything he has wanted to do, he starts to act irrationally young instead. Barman decides he must put a stop to Pops' insanity.
Barman and Chester conclude throwing an epic birthday party is their only option. They rope in their persnickety neighbor Coco, secretly take their boss' brand-new H-Dome Blaster 5000 pressure washer, design a backyard whitewater rafting experience, and call in Pops' family, plotting a formula for complete chaos.
But, as usual, Barman and Chester's plan takes destiny in its own hands! With their yard thoroughly destroyed, their family attacking a deranged H-Dome Blaster, their manic boss hot on their heels, and Pops in a dead faint, will Barman and Chester survive?
