Out of all the page numbers in the book, which one is your favorite? Discuss."įunny book submitted by tomoki on June 21, 2012, 12:54pm This book was exciting and funny. I have a soft spot for wood cut style! And although it doesn't have a (faux) state song after the end of the story, it does have a hilarious 'study guide' that you must be sure to read. I missed the sarcastic narrator of the BOCD, but the illustrations in the book made up for it. Of course, I cracked up on average once per page, but it's things like that - tying together little threads (orts, almost) from throughout the books - that make these books hilarious. And it cracked me up that Larry (the blue, rubbery, grain-sack-over-head-concealed villian of the story) recognized Katie because he has her Horror Hollow fan club poster in his office.
I liked that Lily was the brains behind this operation - even though she doesn't have her own series. The story hangs together well - as well, that is, as any story about whales on stilts taking over the world. It quickly moves from crisis to denouement to end. In fact, I almost thought it was too short (until I remembered my criticism of JD&TFPOD). But unlike Flame Pits, it doesn't get dragged down by the absurdity and length. More hilarious absurdity from MT Anderson submitted by camelsamba on June 17, 2012, 10:40pm Like Jasper Dash and the Flame-Pits of Delaware, this story is hilarious in its absurdity and crazy tangents.
REVIEWS & SUMMARIES School Library Journal Review Racing against the clock, shy middle-school student Lily and her best friends, Katie and Jasper, must foil the plot of her father's conniving boss to conquer the world using an army of whales.
