Reviews"Plenty of side-splitting humor will keep fans wanting more."-- VOYA "Great Scott! The author of Whales on Stilts has dashed off a swell sequel . . . Never has the Hardy Boys-Nancy Drew axis been knocked further or more delightfully askew."-- Booklist (starred review), *R (special distinction) "Gadgety, horror-filled fun... Mystery buff and fans of vintage series fiction will not be disapponted, while those who think they've left old favorites behind may be prompted after this nostalgic romp to pick them up again." -- The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (July 2006), *R (special distinction) "Gadgety, horror-filled fun... Mystery buff and fans of vintage series fiction will not be disappointed, while those who think they''ve left old favorites behind may be prompted after this nostalgic romp to pick them up again." --The Bulletin of the Center for Children''s Books (July 2006), Praise for Whales on Stilts: "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." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) " Goosebumps fans and readers who get Lemony Snicket's brand of humor will be rolling in the aisles."-- Booklist (starred review) "Anderson's mind is a very strange place, and this almost indescribable wackiness is further proof . . . It doesn't get any better than this."-- Kirkus Reviews, *R (special distinction) "Gadgety, horror-filled fun...

SynopsisIn need of a vacation after their last laser-beam-filled adventure, Lily, Jasper, and Katie have flown off for a restful stay at a distant mountain lodge, which just so happens to be hosting a gathering for characters from other middle-grade series novels. Two--the marvelous Manley Boys--look suspiciously like a pair of crime-solving brothers named Frank and Joe Hardy. Two others are a pair of boy-crazy twin sisters who attend a high school in some sweet valley somewhere. And then there arethe Hooper Quints, who, along with a wealthy heiress's priceless diamond necklace, have suddenly gone missing. Does it surprise you that the supposedly "on vacation" Katie, Jasper, and Lily are the only ones around who have the chops to solve this challenging mystery? National Book Award finalist M. T. Anderson has done it again with this second volume of his riotous and wonderfully weird new series., In need of a vacation after their last laser-beam-filled adventure, Lily, Jasper, and Katie have flown off for a restful stay at a distant mountain lodge, which just so happens to be hosting a gathering for characters from other middle-grade series novels.
