MELONHEAD: Melonhead is a self-proclaimed inventor. All his life, which is ten years and counting, great ideas have been popping in and out of his melon head. And sometimes they work! This year Melonhead’s class is entering an inventing fair, so he and his friend Sam are dreaming up plans.

MELONHEAD AND THE BIG STINK: Melonhead ruined one of Mrs. Wilkins's favorite garden plants, so his parents have "loaned" him to her to do chores. This is going to mess up his summer plans if he doesn't figure something out. He and Sam need to find a way to get to New York City to see the titan arum "bunga bangkai" plant. It's supposed to be twelve feet tall, weigh a hundred pounds, and smell like dead mammals, plus rot, plus spoiled food. It only blooms once every seven years, and even then only for two days and then it keels over dead. It's the Big Stink of a Lifetime!

MELONHEAD AND THE UNDERCOVER OPERATION: Melonhead already has the Remind-O-Rama list from his mom, which reminds him what he shouldn't do. Now his dad has created the Melon Family Guidelines for Life to remind him what he should do. And even though all these rules are so simple even a worm could follow them, he already has too much to think about. As Junior Special Agents with the FBI, he and his pal Sam have taken a pledge -- it's their duty to help apprehend a fugitive from justice if they spot one. And believe it or not, they've spotted one not far from where they live! The Chameleon may think she's crafty, but they can see right through her wigs, plastic noses, and putty chins. They're undercover and on the case, doing surveillance and gathering evidence. But what you see isn' always what you get!

MELONHEAD AND THE VEGALICIOUS DISASTER: It's not fair! Not only is Melonhead's ew fifth-grade teacher notoriously strict and mean, his mother is making him eat more and more vegetables. So Melonhead and his pals come up with a genius idea to get out of eating his mom's vegalicious meals, all the while convincing her that they actually love them. But the genius idea leads to totally unexpected and stinky results!

MELONHEAD AND THE WE-FIX-IT COMPANY: Money. That’s what Melonhead and his best friend, Sam, need. Due to a “situation,” the boys have to pay for something they accidentally ruined. Neither of them receives an allowance, so they create the We-Fix-It Company. When jobs start pouring in, the boys feel like they have all the answers. But they soon run into a problem too big for just the two of them to handle. Luckily, their friends offer to help. With teamwork and the courage to dream big, the kids surprise even themselves and deliver amazing results.

MELONHEAD AND THE LATER GATOR PLAN: Melonhead and his best friend, Sam, are off to Florida to stay with Melonhead’s grandparents for a few days . . . in a place called Paradise. Sam wants to bring a Floridian pet back home with him. The boys set their sights on an alligator, convinced that it would be easy to carry an egg on the plane, and then hatch it once they’re home. The only problem is that Paradise is supposedly “alligator-free.” What happens next even the boys don’t expect, and suddenly they’re the talk of the community. Even Melonhead’s grandparents are impressed—and ultimately thankful. Paradise will never be the same again
