Synopsis |
 |
What sort of madman would unleash an army of stilt-walking, laser-beaming, thoroughly angry whales upon the world? Who cares! All that matters is that his dastardly plan be foiled. Lucky for Lily Gefelty, her two best friends are the intrepid stars of their own middle-grade series novels: Jasper Dash (better know as the Boy Technonaut) and Katie Mulligan (beloved by millions as the heroine of the Horror Hollow series). It's going to take all their smarts to stop this insane, inane plot from succeeding.

a hysterical tale...Highly wacky
M.T. Anderson,Publishers Weekly,5/16/2005
|
"Goosebumps fans and readers who "get" Lemony Snicket's brand of humor will be rolling in the aisles." -- star from Booklist (Feb 1, 2005 issue)
|
"Armed with an array of adjectives, non-sequiturs, bizarre asides, irrelevant footnotes and running gags, Anderson sends up decades of children's book series, and creates a hysterical tale of his own. . . . Highly wacky." -- starred review in May 16, 2005 Publishers Weekly:
|
"Anderson's latest work for kids got a big boost on May 16 when Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl touted it on NPR's Morning Edition. She called the middle grade spoof 'a book that you cannont read without a lot of chortling.' -- Publishers Weekly's Children's Fiction Bestsellers list, June 13, 2005
